Internal Tooth Bleaching in North York

Our North York clinic ensures a precise, safe, and comfortable experience. The steps are explained below to help you be prepared for your treatment.

Step 1: Comprehensive Examination
Before starting, our dentist performs a thorough examination of your tooth. This includes checking the root canal health, assessing the degree and cause of discoloration, and reviewing your overall oral condition. We also take X-rays if needed to ensure the tooth is strong and suitable for internal bleaching. This step ensures a safe and effective treatment plan tailored to your needs.

Step 2: Isolation & Preparation
To protect surrounding teeth and gums, the discolored tooth is isolated from saliva, and a protective barrier is applied. This step prevents the bleaching agent from affecting other areas in your mouth, ensuring the treatment is both safe and precise.

Step 3: Application of Whitening Agent
A professional-grade bleaching agent is carefully placed inside the tooth. This material works from the inside out, gradually lightening the discoloration. The tooth is then sealed temporarily to allow the agent to work effectively between visits, keeping the process gentle and controlled.

Step 4: Monitoring & Reapplication
During follow-up visits, our dentist monitors the tooth’s progress. If needed, the bleaching agent is refreshed to achieve the desired shade. This careful monitoring ensures your tooth lightens evenly and safely, avoiding over-whitening or sensitivity.

Step 5: Final Restoration
Once the tooth reaches the ideal shade, the whitening material is removed. We then restore the tooth with a permanent filling to seal it completely and maintain its natural appearance. This final step ensures your tooth looks bright, healthy, and blends seamlessly with your smile.
