It is possible to use whitening techniques for teeth that are excessively dark or have undesirable stains, affecting both the enamel and the dentin.
For this purpose, two long-established products are used: carbamide peroxide and hydrogen peroxide. These come in gel form in syringes that can be used gradually at home with custom-made trays created from impressions of your teeth. They are not harmful to tooth structure, provided they are used at appropriate concentrations and according to a well-established protocol in the dental office.
An annual maintenance treatment may be necessary before starting this type of treatment.
Internal bleaching: After root canal treatment, a tooth may be dark. A method involving the application of a specific gel inside the root canal is used to achieve satisfactory whiteness. Sometimes, this method needs to be repeated over time.
