Even after a tooth has undergone root canal treatment, sometimes it can darken over time, affecting the overall aesthetics of your smile. This internal discoloration, often due to remnants of pulp tissue or filling materials, can be a cosmetic concern. At Lumos Polyclinic, gracefully positioned on the 35th floor of Sheikh Zayed Road, offering mesmerizing views of Dubai and the iconic Burj Khalifa, we provide specialized aesthetic solutions to restore the natural brilliance of such teeth. Our unique approach is Internal Bleaching (Non-vital teeth) in Dubai. Unlike external teeth whitening that lightens the outer surface of vital teeth, internal bleaching specifically addresses discoloration from within a non-vital (root canal-treated) tooth. The procedure involves creating a small opening in the back of the discolored tooth, through which a whitening agent is placed inside the pulp chamber. This agent works from the inside out to gently lighten the tooth over several days, often requiring a few changes of the bleaching material until the desired shade is achieved. Once the tooth reaches the desired brightness, the opening is sealed with a tooth-colored filling. Internal bleaching is a highly effective and conservative method to improve the appearance of a single discolored tooth, allowing it to blend seamlessly with your surrounding natural teeth. Our skilled cosmetic dentists perform this procedure with precision and care, ensuring a comfortable experience and beautiful, natural-looking results. Trust Lumos Polyclinic to expertly restore the brightness of your smile, even for previously treated teeth, ensuring your confidence shines as brightly as our clinic’s city views. Let us help you achieve a uniformly brilliant smile, enhancing your overall aesthetic appeal.

“Every review here reflects the care, expertise, and dedication our team provides daily. We take pride in creating experiences that leave our patients confident, comfortable, and happy with their results.
Consultation: Your initial consultation in Dubai will involve assessing the non-vital tooth to determine if internal bleaching is a suitable option for discoloration. We'll discuss the causes of internal staining and explain the process of safely lightening the tooth from within.
Preparation: The existing filling material within the pulp chamber, if present, is carefully removed to create a reservoir for the bleaching agent. A protective base is then placed over the root canal filling to prevent the bleaching agent from seeping into the root canal. This ensures the procedure targets only the discolored crown.
Procedure: After ensuring the root canal filling is sealed, a small opening is made on the back of the discolored tooth to access its internal chamber. A bleaching agent is then placed inside the tooth and sealed for several days, gradually lightening the tooth from within to match its neighbors.
Post-Procedure: After internal bleaching, the tooth is sealed with a final restoration, completing the aesthetic procedure. You can immediately enjoy your brightened smile, and we will provide advice on maintaining the new shade and overall oral hygiene.
Following Up After internal bleaching, our follow-up in Dubai ensures the stability of the achieved shade and the absence of any complications. We verify the aesthetic outcome and the overall health of the non-vital tooth.
After undergoing Internal Bleaching (Non-vital teeth) in Dubai, the recovery is generally minimal, as the procedure primarily involves applying a bleaching agent inside a discolored, root-canal-treated tooth. You might experience some very mild, temporary sensitivity, but this is uncommon since the tooth is non-vital. The immediate aftermath is a noticeably brighter, more aesthetically pleasing tooth that better matches its neighbors, significantly improving your smile's uniformity. For proper follow-up care, maintaining excellent daily oral hygiene—brushing and flossing diligently—is crucial for overall oral health. While the internal bleaching results are often permanent, your dentist will monitor the tooth during regular check-ups to ensure the color remains stable and to check the integrity of the sealing restoration. In some cases, if the desired shade isn't achieved after the initial treatment, a second bleaching session might be recommended. The success of internal bleaching means you've avoided more invasive cosmetic procedures like crowns or veneers, making consistent follow-up key to preserving its long-term aesthetic benefits and ensuring no complications arise.
