What crown will look the best for teeth that root canal failed on and are now discoloured?
Q. Hi there…my front two teeth are discoloured, as both have been root filled, and one snapped in half.I have veneers on at moment, but can stil see the tooth underneath, and the discolouration.Im getting crowns but want advice on what crown will look the best? My dentist said nhs crowns are not as good, and to go private, is this true? Do you advice a post, or a bridge with the nerves being dead? Please advice as it has really knocked my confidencde, thankyou, nicola,
A. Posts would be used if there is not enough tooth left. If the remaining tooth is dark this might be because the root fillings are leaking so I would assess that first. The teeth could then be whitened if needed. Good crowns will hide the dark colour. The better the quality of the crowns you have the better the final cosmetic appearance.
