Will dental bridges cover a grey tooth?

October 19, 2014
Asked By:csimmons94 in Calgary, AB

Hi, I recently had a root canal on my front tooth. It is still noticeably grey, by no means black though. I want to use that tooth as one of the abutments for a dental bridge, as I have a tooth missing next to it. Will a dental bridge cap completely cover the grey tooth? My dentist has brought up internal bleaching before doing so because the fake teeth are translucent and the grey may show through, though I'm not sure if he just wants me to pay more... Any help is appreciated, thanks!
