Do both teeth: Doing both front teeth will result in the best possible cosmetic outcome, especially have the colors match. It is extremely difficult to have just one front tooth match the adjacent tooth perfectly.

Possibly: One of the hardest thins to do esthetically in dentistry is to restore one upper front tooth. Two best solutions are to restore both upper front teeth or to see a prosthodontic specialist to restore only the one tooth. Remember that restorations require maintenance, periodic repair/replacement.

RCT\Veneer: That's impossible to answer without evaluating you personally and seeing x-rays of your teeth. The size and shape of your teeth, the amount of sound tooth structure, your bite, the actual shade of both the RCT tooth and the adjacent teeth as well as your expectations all play a role in determining what is best for you. Some dentists and labs can match one tooth exceedingly well, while others can't
