I have a root canal on my left bottom, front tooth. I have seen a couple of dentists, and they all have recommended different treatments such as a veneer, a crown and internal whitening.I'm so confused. I don't know which treatment to choose for my root canal tooth. Please advise.

Answer: RCT treated tooth
Hi
Its a very good question . There are different options for a RCT treared tooth , specially if it is discolored. Its very important for a tooth to have a full coverage after treatment as the tooth becomes brittle . Veneer covers just the front surface and does not provide the full coverage. Internal bleaching can be an option only when you are not planning to get any crown or veneer after RCT. The best option is to get a crown in order to prevent the fracture of the tooth n future.

Answer: Beautiful esthetics and strong...
I would recommend treating your lower anterior tooth with an emax crown. It could be a full crown or 3/4 crown depending on the situation. This tooth can be treated after the root canal is completed. I would also recommend a ceramic post to be placed in conjunction with the root canal treatment. The goal is the create and strong tooth with beautiful esthetics.
