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
- Confidence booster
- Targeted treatment
- Quick results
Prime Endodontics Reviews
Everyone here was so kind to me when I was very anxious. My treatment was speedy and painless and I very much appreciated the follow up the day after to check on me. I won't go anywhere else for my endodontic needs!
Dr Cohenca is truly a miracle worker! I had my first root canal today at age 68. I am the biggest baby in the world. It was so quick and easy and no pain. I highly recommend him if you need a root canal. He is beyond amazing! Thank you so much.
I have always been terrified of the idea of a root canal and never thought that I would actually require the procedure. I had a crown seated earlier in the year and knew that it was doomed from the start. When I developed a bump above the gumline over the tooth, I knew it was not going to be an easy fix. Boy, was I wrong. Dr. Nawari quickly diagnosed the issue with a set of x-rays and got straight to work. The process was complete in an hour and was incredibly easy. Dr. Nawari and Dulce were so kind and kept me comfortable and informed throughout. I was given headphones to connect to my phone/Spotify and the procedure was displayed on a screen for me to watch, if I chose to do so. Another set of x-rays concluded the procedure and confirmed that all was looking great, now! I can see why they have such a high rating - they are absolute superstars and so incredibly kind and understanding. Their amazing office administrator, Julie, kindly gave me some thoughtful recommendations for general providers on my way out, as I mentioned to her that I was seeking new general dentistry care. I would not hesitate to come back here for future work, though I hope it's not necessary! I HIGHLY recommend Prime Endodontics and that is coming from someone who is on the upper end of the anxiety scale!
I had the most positive experience here getting my root canal done. When scheduling an appointment, I was surprised how soon it could be scheduled (next day or in a couple of days). Dr. Cohenca is incredibly professional. Before doing the procedure, he performed diagnostic tests in order to be 100% sure that root canal treatment is exactly what I needed. He took great care to inform me of what was going on with my tooth, what he was going to do during the procedure, and answered all my questions. I was also very positively surprised on his technique of administering the local anesthesia. The numbing gel helped with the uncomfortable shot and he took great care to add anesthesia in small bits to make sure I felt no pain. The procedure itself was practically painless and I was provided with chapstick, a blanket, and headphones to put on music from my phone. Very happy with my experience here and 100% recommend Dr. Cohenca.
Professional, excellent customer service, easy to schedule. Most importantly, I felt reassured to be taken care of by a highly skilled, kind clinician.
