It won\u2019t help to preserve the tooth if it is damaged.Porcelain veneers often require that the natural tooth is lightly shaved to prevent the veneer from making it look bulky.<\/p>\n<p>If the tooth is at all weak\u2014and it may be since it was traumatized and needed a root canal treatment&#8211;a porcelain crown will protect it and have a color that matches your natural teeth. A cosmetic dentist will ensure that it perfectly matches.<\/p>\n<p>Have your tooth examined by a cosmetic dentist.
