The first question is what is the material of that crown? It's recommended to go with the new crown as damage [microscopic] during the removal of the crown may result in marginal leakage if re-used.

Is the tooth that looks grey root canaled?  Sometimes it's very difficult to mask out the grey caused from a tooth that has been root canaled.  I suggest that you go back to see your dentist and discuss your concerns with him/her.

Hi:Unfortunately the crown has to be redone in order to change the color and the shape.Best,Dr. Maddahi
