No.  Internal bleaching is only used on teeth that have undergone endodontic treatment.  Since the tooth no longer has a nerve, this allows Dr. Tigrett to place the bleaching material directly into the center of the tooth with no sensitivity.

The first requirement is that the tooth needs have new or previous root canal treatment.  This allows the bleaching material to be placed in the center of the tooth.  If this is not the case, we will suggest seeing your dentist for external bleaching trays.

If the tooth requiring bleaching has fillings, we can still whiten your tooth successfully; however, the fillings will remain the same color.   When your bleaching is complete, and you are happy with the new color of your tooth, your dentist will place new fillings to match the new brighter color of your tooth.

Some more tenacious stains will take several rounds of bleaching agent.  In some difficult teeth this process may take several weeks.  This procedure can work together with bleaching trays from your dentist to achieve the result you are looking for.
