Visitor asks:
Hello,
I would like to know what can be done about whitening a non-vital tooth. I have heard of internal bleaching, namely placing some agent inside, and also of ceramic. I am interested in the prices of the different procedures.
It is the upper lateral incisor, which is quite visible. I whiten the other teeth with whitening strips and the difference is becoming too obvious.
Best regards
Masa

Dear Sir/Madam!
Considering that the tooth in question is rather slender and has been additionally weakened by devitalization and removal of dentine during root canal treatment, I suggest making an artificial crown on a root post, which can be metal or made of other materials (glass fiber, zirconia...). This provides complete aesthetic and functional restoration of the tooth (reducing the likelihood of fracture). Bleaching would only bring us closer to an aesthetic correction, but would certainly not strengthen the tooth. Price of the proposed procedure:
-350 Eur (all-ceramic crown)
-30 Eur (post)
Have a nice day!
