If you’ve ever felt self-conscious about your teeth’s colour when you smile, whitening may be a smart remedy.
Teeth whitening is a safe process that may brighten the colour of your teeth by utilising a safe dental lightening solution. Individual results vary depending on your initial tooth colour and the extent of your tooth discolouration.
What types of tooth whitening are available?
There are two types of tooth whitening methods available to you. First, there is home-based whitening, which involves having custom-made bleaching trays manufactured so that you may bleach at home on a regular basis. Internal whitening is the second category. Internal whitening is used to lighten teeth that have darkened due to a damaged nerve or earlier root canal therapy.
With home-based whitening treatments, your dentist will provide you with custom-made whitening trays (similar to a thin gum shield). When whitening your teeth at home, you will be given instructions on using the materials and how to care for your teeth. The benefit of whitening your own teeth is that you have total control over the speed and duration of your procedure.

Internal Tooth-Whitening
Internal Tooth Whitening is a whitening process typically used on dark, discoloured teeth that have lost vitality due to Endodontic dental therapy (root canal treatment).
There are several reasons why your teeth may seem grey. Anything that reduces blood supply to the tooth might cause it to perish and change colour.
The most common reasons are:
- The tooth died as a result of an accident, such as a fall or knock.
- The tooth has undergone root canal therapy.
If the tooth has undergone successful root canal treatment, it may be qualified for internal tooth whitening. Your dentist will apply a whitening gel to the interior and outside of the tooth. Internal tooth whitening is a simple, minimally invasive, and quick option to lighten up a single tooth.
