Internal Tooth Whitening
Internal tooth whitening can improve the colour of your teeth, allowing you to smile with confidence. Using an at home tooth whitening system, a small amount of whitening gel is placed inside the tooth and refreshed regularly during the day over a short period of time. This a health focused cosmetic solution for teeth, which have been badly damaged in the past and subsequently darkened. This approach often avoids the need for drilling required for porcelain veneers and crowns.
When?
Teeth which have gone dark following trauma.
Treatment Duration
3-5 weeks (1-2 weeks internal whitening and 2-3 weeks external whitening).
Benefits of Internal Tooth Whitening
Health focused: No drilling on the front surface of teeth or injections required.
The Internal Tooth Whitening Process
We need to ensure that a high-quality root canal treatment has been carried out on the teeth to be treated before starting the internal tooth whitening process. The filling which covers the root canal treatment is removed temporarily from the back surface of the tooth, leaving an area for the whitening gel to be placed internally. The whitening gel inside the tooth is removed and refreshed every 2 hours during the internal whitening stage before replacing the filling and proceeding with external whitening.
Our internal tooth whitening packages include your tooth whitening trays, whitening gel (for internal whitening and external whitening) and Enlighten Tooth Serum (to help minimise sensitivity)

Your Journey
1. Complimentary E-Consultation
Initially we ask for you to complete our complimentary e-consultation form from the comfort of your own home. I will then send you a personalised video, which will go through my initial thoughts on how we can achieve your dream smile, as well as information about the estimated investment in your new smile and finance options.
2. Comprehensive Assessment
Following your complimentary e-consultation you will be invited to arrange a comprehensive records appointment, which allows us to create a plan tailored to your dental health and aesthetic requirements. This appointment involves an in-depth discussion regarding your concerns and goals, a full dental health assessment (including x-rays), photos and a 3D digital scan of your teeth and gums.
3. Treatment Planning
On the back of your comprehensive records appointment, I will start designing your dream smile using digital technology and creating your bespoke plan, which can take a few weeks. Once this is completed, we will invite you to arrange a treatment planning appointment, carried out from the comfort of your own home via Zoom, where I can present you with a simulation of your new smile, discuss your options and provide a detailed plan with information on the level of investment in your dream smile.
4. Treatment
We can then commence your treatment, once you are happy to proceed.
5. Maintenance
One of the most important parts of the process is maintaining your new smile, with good home care being vital. We will invite you to return for regular dental health assessments, reviews and hygiene appointments to ensure everything is well maintained.
