My front teeth are discoloured. What can be done and what will it cost?

Q.
Hi there…..My two front teeth are discoloured,both been rootfilled, and one has snapped in half.I have veneers at the moment but can see the tooth underneath, and also the discoloration? Im getting crowns…What type of crown would you recommend, what looks the best? Do the nhs use poor material compared to private…as this is what the dentist told me? would i need posts or bridges with the nerve being dead? Please advise as it has really knocked my confidence…but dont know what to do?
A.
Porcelain or ceramic crowns give the best aesthetic result as they have no metal inside them. You don’t necessarilly need to have post’s in the teeth this would all depend on how much tooth structure you have for the crown to be fitted on to. You would have to check with your Nhs dentist what crowns are available to you.
