What is internal bleaching?
Internal bleaching is used for teeth that have darkened from the inside—often after trauma or a root canal.
Instead of whitening the surface, a gentle bleaching agent is placed inside the tooth, where the discoloration lives. Over a series of visits, the tooth lightens from within and blends naturally with the surrounding teeth.
How long does it last?
Results typically last a few years, and in some cases are permanent. Touch-ups are rarely needed.
