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

Prime Endodontics Reviews
I had my second root canal in a week performed by a very caring and skilled Dr. Cohenca. I can honestly say the experience was much easier and painless than I feared. In fact it was a lot like getting a cavity filled, just takes longer, about an hour. I was able to leave the office and go for a pain-free cold smoothie on the way home! The Dr. clearly explained the procedure with images, and I could see the before and after X-rays. He was assisted by skilled and compassionate professionals who made sure I was comfortable throughout the procedure. The front desk staff is very competent as well.
If you need a root canal, look no further. Dr Cohenca is the only endodontist I will go to for root canals. I have had so many traumatic ones over the years, but for my last 2(which were repairs of old root canals), he fixed me right up. So professional, yet so sweet and caring. I believe him to be the best out there! He is honest and lets you know exactly what is going on, as well as having a dental office with the latest and greatest technology so you can even watch your own procedure.
Was able to visit this clinic in two different occasions and I recommend Prime Endodontics, very professional staff, very caring, they made sure I was comfortable and my dental procedure was excellent, I Receive a post-op call after each visit to check on my progress, that is something I really appreciate. My dentist informed me that he refer me to this clinic because of the good comments and excellent ratings, I can confirm that it is true and I do recommend this clinic.
Dr. Cohenca is so highly skilled & excellent at what he does. I had a very challenging root canal, and was very anxious. I needn’t have been - I experienced very minimal discomfort during and after the procedure. His staff was great - just couldn’t have asked for more. I would recommend Dr. Cohenca highly!!
I have had nothing but positive experiences at Prime Endodontics. Dr.Sahrd Nawari was especially adept at explaining the procedures and monitoring my comfort level and anxiety. have seen both doctors and they provide gentle care and my comfort came first. I highly recommend them.
