I knocked both front teeth out when I was younger and had root canals performed. 20 years later I finally had my crowns redone to look better. One tooth is dark and it is showing through. So far, they look great in bright natural light but the one tooth looks dark in dim lighting or inside lighting. Is there a way to cover the darkness of the tooth before the crown goes on to mask it? Also, are these too short?

Removal of old crowns, scanning or impressing the teeth and replacing the crowns with temporary crowns can be a one-appointment process. If the dentist who works on you has a milling machine, it can theoretically all be done in one visit. You should have minimal or no sensitivity/pain thereafter...
Hello, it takes between 3 and 6 months for the bone to form at the root tip in teeth with apical resection, and the tooth should not be exposed to any trauma or force during this period. Therefore, if you are going to have a permanent restoration, I recommend you to wait
