Crowns or veneers?

Q. Hello I have 4 root canals done in the front teeth and one of them turned so dark over 15 years that not the dentist put a pin inside the canal and completely removed the tooth. I think he used the white filling to create a fake tooth for the time being. I am facing a dilemma now. From experience I know the other 3 teeth will turn dark too. I need to look at my options. Crowns or veneers. I would hate to invest the money into veneers if the dark colour will be visible from underneath? Do you think crowns will be better for me? especially because the teeth are in the front I would really love to finally have a smile I always dreamed of and not a horror story and empty wallet with dark teeth. Please help me I am not concerned about my teeth being grinded down. I just want white beautiful teeth that will last for many many years,
A. It depends on how strong the teethh are and how well the roots are treated you may be better off with crowns rather than veneers but veneers are less destructive to your natural tooth.
