Dental Crowns or Veneers for Two Front Teeth?

This is difficult to say for sure without pictures, but typically we could do a crown and veneer and make them match perfectly.  We always want to be as conservative as possible without sacrificing aesthetics.  Hope this helps. 

There is a valid argument to a full crown on the tooth that had the root canal, but if were me, the veneer would remain a veneer on the adjacent tooth. If the crown is going to be with a metal core, then yes, matching the color would be hard. I just wouldn't recommend the metal core type. I would ask for a brand of all porcelain crown and veneer called empress, and the color matching should not be too difficult.

To answer this we would need to see photos and xrays of the tooth. Generally speaking a crown and veneer are both made of the same material. The only difference is that the crown wraps entirely around the tooth and the veneer only covers the front and possibly extends slightly to the back. If there is enough tooth structure left, a veneer is fine for the root canaled tooth. If there was decay or tooth structure had to be removed to access the root canal then a crown is indicated. The same goes for the adjacent tooth. If there is decay or if there old bondings that need to be replaced a crown is indicated. If not a veneer is fine. Also the lab and your dentist will take into consideration your bite. If you've worn a lot of tooth structure or your bite needs more stability, crowns are indicated. Combining crowns and veneers is not uncommon. For aesthetic purposes don't worry too much if it a crown or veneer. They can be made to match perfectly and look great.
