The discolouration in my front tooth is now more apparent due to the dead nerve, what can I do?

Q. I have a discoloured front tooth due to a dead nerve. I have had it for about 30 years. The tooth is strong and at the moment I have a porcelain veneer over it. It is about 15 years old and the discolouration is now showing through again. I go to my dentist twice a year and I have asked if there are any new techniques available to improve it. He told me that I would need a thicker veneer to cover the tooth and it wasn’t really worth doing. What would you suggest I ask him to do? Many thanks.,
A. Unfortunately thats the only option other than using a crown made of a more opaque material to cover the dark colour. Internal bleaching can sometimes help but is very unpredictable
