Visitor asks:
Hello,
My upper central incisor died years ago. The dead tissue was removed from the root canal and the canal was filled. Over time the tooth became darker.
I would like to know whether correction with a veneer is possible.
Thank you very much for your answer.

Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:
Dear Sir/Madam!
Restoration with a veneer would in this case provide a good aesthetic correction and can be done. In your case, however, we are dealing with a dead, hollowed-out tooth, which is certainly not strong enough to withstand greater loads, so in this situation I recommend making a dental crown with a radicular anchor (post).
Have a nice day!
