I had trauma to my front tooth one year ago and a composite filling was put in place. It has now darkened in colour it is much more yellow in colour than its adjacent "white" looking tooth. I am set to get root canal on it this week but I hope to somehow fix the strong difference in colour between my two front teeth. My only issue is the expense of all these procedures and I also worry that if I get a crown or veneer that it will not match my other front tooth. What are my options?
