I have veneers on my front teeth, I had a root canal and the tooth turned dark, which made one tooth slightly darker?

HelenKamp
My problem with my darker tooth under the veneers really bothered me, my dentist went in under the veneer and removed a good part of the tooth and replaced it with a white composite filling. The tooth looks better but feels strange and is sensitive at the gum line. I'm wondering if I ever need a replacement veneer will this be possible with part of my tooth gone? I really wish I would have tried internal bleaching as a first option. Is this a common solution to my problem? I am looking for comfort.
