When the interior of a tooth becomes damaged, this can actually cause the color to change—enamel is actually slightly translucent! This can occur both before and after root canal treatment, but at Liv Endodontics, we offer a way to directly counteract this problem that can’t be solved with traditional whitening. To lighten darkened teeth in Livingston, we apply a safe oxidizing agent inside the tooth to essentially bleach it from within. The process can be adjusted based on the shade of your tooth and may need to be repeated two or three times before we can achieve your desired result.
