No, modern root canal treatment methods usually do not change the colour of the tooth. The materials used during treatment and the upper restoration (filling or crown) are selected to match your natural tooth tone. In rare cases, treatment with older techniques may result in darkening of the colour, in which case your dentist can improve the aesthetic appearance by recommending whitening or veneers.

  • Protect the treated tooth and avoid excessively hard foods immediately.
  • Avoid hot and cold foods in the first days, there may be sensitivity.
  • Avoid putting pressure on the tooth and biting hard foods.
  • Visit your dentist for regular check-ups after root canal treatment.
