Types of Tooth Whitening

External Tooth Whitening

Internal Tooth Whitening

Internal Tooth Whitening procedures are performed on nonvital tooth that have undergone endodontic therapy ("Root Canal") and are discoloured due to internal staining of the tooth structure by blood and other fluids that drained in. Internal Tooth Whitening brightens teeth from the inside out. Whitening the tooth internally involves Root canal treatment, and placing a peroxide gel into the pulp chamber so that the gel can work straight inside the tooth on the dentin layer. In this variation of whitening the peroxide is sealed within the tooth over a period of some days and replaced as and when needed.
