What Is Single Tooth Whitening?

Single tooth whitening is an internal bleaching procedure used to lighten teeth that have darkened, usually after root canal treatment. The goal is to restore the natural shade and harmony of the smile by treating just the discolored tooth.

When Is It Needed?

Tooth discoloration after root canal therapy
Trauma-induced internal staining
Color mismatch in smile design cases
Aesthetic concerns with a front tooth

How Is It Performed?

A small portion of the root canal filling is removed
A whitening gel is placed inside the tooth
The tooth is sealed with temporary filling
The procedure is repeated every 3–7 days for 1–3 sessions
Once the desired shade is achieved, the tooth is permanently restored

Is It a Painful Procedure?

No. Since root canal-treated teeth no longer contain live nerve tissue, the procedure is completely painless. Most patients report no discomfort during or after treatment.

How Many Sessions Are Required?

Typically 1 to 3 sessions are enough, depending on the initial color of the tooth and the desired outcome. Your dentist will determine the duration during the evaluation.

Are the Results Permanent?

Results are long-lasting but may fade over time depending on dietary and oral hygiene habits. Follow-up maintenance and good oral care can extend the effect.

Who Is Not Suitable for This Treatment?

Teeth with active infection or inflammation
Severely fractured or structurally compromised teeth
Pregnant or breastfeeding patients (precautionary)
