I have root canal on my front 2 teeth and I am really concerned about the discoloration

Q. Hi I am 19 years old and I have quite a lot of fillings and root canals on some of my teeth. I have root canal on my 2 front teeth and I am really concerned about the discolouraion and that it I might lose my front teeth at an early age. What do you think would be best to do so that I wouldn’t lose it at an early age. should I have implants or what. I would really appreciate it if you could reply ASAP, thanks

A. Hi many thanks for your enquiry, the root canal treatment as long as its been done to a high standard may last for a long time so i feel as long as the teeth are not causing pain, i would not recommend having them extracted. if the discolouration is a problem it may be an option to veneer the teeth to improve the look of them. i hope this is helpful.
