Can anything be done for tooth that has become discoloured?

Q. I had a root canal done for one of my front tooth(8 years back)…though the tooth is intact and strong it has started discolouring.Is there any way I can get back the original color without using a crown..please advice..thanks!,
A. To determine the best way of improving the appearance of this tooth it is best to book an appointment with the dentist. In some cases teeth may be whitened internally (like maybe in your case where it is just one individual tooth) but whether this will be sucessful for your self would have to be determined by a dentist. Other ways of making the tooth appear whiter other than crowning maybe a veneer. Hope this helps. Dr K Solanki
