Root Canal Whitening: Internal bleaching is a possible option, composite or porcelain veneers are possible options too. Full coverage crown (caps) are a option. Please see your dentist to discuss these choices and see what is the best one for your situation.

See your dentist: Depending on the severity of the discoloration, whitening of the tooth may be a viable option. If not, then porcelain restorations can be used.

See Dentist: A root canal tooth may need to be bleached from the inside. Then the outside can be addressed after the inside is done.

Internal/external bl: If you are unhappy with the shade of the rest of your teeth, I would speak to the dentist about a combination internal bleach for the tooth in question and external bleach for the remaining dentition for optimum results.
