View our before & after images of tooth lightening multiple front teeth by clicking on the gallery on the right. Milford Dentists uses both "in surgery" & "at home" tooth Whitening to lighten upper & lower teeth. The most effective tooth lightening process is combining both of the above. Please contact us & ask our Dental Hygienist Karen for treatment details.

Sometimes a dead or root filled tooth will darken on its own leaving a "black" tooth.

Is it possible to lighten a ‘dead’ discoloured tooth?

Yes. This process involves placing a lightening agent into the body of the “dead” root filled tooth for 7 days. This process is often very sucessful making further cosmetic work unnecessary. The photo below shows a slightly yellow chipped central incisor. If you hover your mouse over the image you will see that this tooth started life a lot darker after discolouringwhen it became non vital. Our plan here was to place a porcelain veneer  the tooth after internal tooth lightening but the patient was so happy with the improved appearance she opted to not proceed with the veneer.  Andrea Clarke BDS
