Expert diagnosis and treatment of endodontic conditions.
Internal Bleaching is a technique used to whiten the appearance of teeth and is different than over-the-counter solutions used to whiten teeth.
Internal Bleaching (intracoronal bleaching) is a technique used to whiten the appearance of teeth and is different than over-the-counter solutions used to whiten teeth (extracoronal bleaching). Internal bleaching must be conducted by your endodontist and can only be performed after successful root canal therapy. Not everyone is a candidate for internal bleaching and Dr. Jacobs and Dr. Ramesh will evaluate your case on an individual basis.
Discoloration of a single tooth as a result from caries or previous dental trauma. The discoloration starts from the interior of the tooth and moves outward.
Discoloration of all teeth can be a result of a physiological evolution due to the patient’s age, or possibly from the administration of medicines or patient habits, including smoking.
Internal stains can be bleached, bonded or crowned. While each of these methods is safe and effective, your dentist will recommend which treatment is appropriate for you depending on the state of your teeth and the results that you wish to achieve. Your endodontist will consider:
Professional teeth whitening and internal bleaching are two different procedures, but they are meant to achieve the same result. This result is none other than to make the teeth appear whiter. However, these two processes differ widely from each other.
Professional teeth whitening is often called external bleaching. The most common methods of teeth whitening are in-office laser tooth whitening and take-home whitening treatments.
Internal bleaching, on the other hand, is a somewhat invasive teeth whitening process, and is strictly reserved for people who have had root canal surgery.
Internal, or non-vital, bleaching is used to lighten a darkly discolored tooth that has had root canal therapy. A chemical oxidizing agent is placed within the coronal portion of a tooth to remove tooth discoloration. In this procedure, bleach crystals are placed inside the tooth, left for several days and then the patient returns to the endodontist office to have the bleach crystals removed. Again, this procedure may be performed several times.
Internal bleaching is a technique that is used to whiten the appearance of endodontically treated teeth.
Root canal therapy is a way to save your natural teeth and prevent the need for dental implants or bridges. Enquire now.
With the appropriate care, your teeth that have had endodontic treatment will last as long as other natural teeth.
Generally, a root canal is all that is needed to save teeth with an injured pulp from extraction but sometimes you need more.

Dr. Jacobs and Dr. Ramesh have put together questions that they hears often from their patients. Check them out!
Dr. Jacobs is truly the best doctor I have ever been too. When I was told that I might have to get a root canal I immediately freaked out…2 weeks before my wedding and honeymoon I started to feel pain…Dr. Jacobs’s office was extremely accommodating and made sure they got me in for an appointment!

A++ Dr. Jacobs and staff are amazing. I went in last Friday for a root canal and she could not have made my experience any better. Dr. Jacobs and staff were extremely patient with me and made me feel at ease. One of the girls from the office was even holding my hand during the painless process. If you ever need a root canal this is the go to place for sure. Thank you Dr. Jacobs!!!

Dr. Jacobs took care of my emergency root canal while putting me at ease. Her gentle care was extraordinary. Like many people going to a dentist has been a fear of mine since I was a kid. Dr. Jacobs eradicated that fear. I look forward to having her keep my teeth in the best shape possible. I highly recommend her for your endodontic needs.

Can I give it 10 stars because that is what Dr. Jacobs deserves? Due to my own fault of not taking care for my mouth, I wound up needing about 5 or 6 root canals over a 3 month period. Each time I went to Dr. Jacobs I was feeling more and more relaxed. She is gentle, kind, and comforting. Dr. Jacobs is truly wonderful at what she does. Thank you Dr. Jacobs a million times over!!
