Teeth are grey after the root filling

Q. Hi, I had a root filling in one of my front teeth about a year and a half ago. My tooth is now grey and extremely noticable. Is there anything I can do about it as its constantly on my mind and Im really self conscious about it?

A. There a lots of things you can do in this situation
Internal bleaching is carried out on teeth that have a good quality root filling and only a moderate restoration but have discoloured. This procedure can often improve the appearance several shades. a veneer is sometimes used if a further improvement is needed
A crown is an alternative on heavily restored teeth.
some practices like ours offer a free initial consultation with a dentist to help assess the best option in individual cases.
