What Is Intracoronal Bleaching?
Intracoronal bleaching, also known as internal bleaching, is a dental procedure used to whiten teeth from the inside, specifically those that have undergone root canal therapy. Prime Endodontics employs this method to address discoloration caused by internal factors rather than external stains, which are typically targeted by regular teeth whitening treatments. The procedure not only enhances the aesthetic appearance of teeth but can also improve the well-being of patients by refreshing the natural look of their smile without altering the tooth's external structure. Schedule a consultation with our Kirkland, WA team to learn more about how this procedure can re-brighten discolored teeth.
How Does Intracoronal Bleaching Work?
Intracoronal bleaching involves placing a bleaching agent inside a tooth that has previously been treated with a root canal. The process starts by sealing the tooth's root canal to prevent the bleaching agent from affecting the root. The bleaching agent, typically a form of peroxide, is then carefully applied inside the tooth in the area that was previously discolored. Over time, this agent works to remove all stains, improving esthetics and its overall appearance. The treatment may need to be repeated to achieve the desired shade.
What Are the Benefits of Intracoronal Bleaching?
Intracoronal bleaching is a specialized dental procedure at Prime Endodontics that offers several advantages, particularly for teeth that have become discolored following root canal treatment. This technique helps restore the natural appearance of teeth by addressing internal stains effectively and offering the following advantages:
- Aesthetic improvement
- Noninvasive procedure

Prime Endodontics Reviews
This is the only place to go if you need to get a root canal, it took less than an hour and he did an outstanding job. The staff there is spot on and they know what they’re doing. Highly recommend this place.
I had an apicoectomy with Dr. Cohenca and his team at Prime Endodontics, and honestly… wow. I was nervous going in (because surgery 😬), but they completely put me at ease. From the moment I walked through the door, I felt taken care of.The place is spotless, calm, and comforting. They wrapped me in a warm blanket (yes, that little touch made such a difference), explained everything so clearly, and were just so kind. Dr. Cohenca is not only an expert at what he does, but also incredibly thoughtful and attentive.The surgery itself went super smoothly, and recovery has been way easier than I expected. I never thought I’d say this about a dental procedure, but the whole experience was actually… comforting? I left feeling genuinely grateful.If you’re anxious or unsure, this is the team you want by your side. 10/10.
I had the best experience. First of all the staff is accommodating and really caring as I was in so much pain they gave me earliest appointment which was next morning. I did my paper work before hand. Dr. Cohenca is an amazing doc. He evaluated me first to confirm that for sure root canal is required and then 1.5 hour around it took for while procedure. After 2 hours of root canal when my anesthesia was gone I had literally no pain.They even gave me headphones to listen to music so that I don’t have to hear that drilling noise and become anxious.100% recommend !!!
