Sir,the discoloration could be due to the tooth becoming dead,or non vital due to long standing infection of the tooth.you can confirm this by taking an x ray and checking.If the discoloration is due to the non vitality of the tooth,then the treatment of choice is root canal treatment and crown for the affected tooth.

hello,
you need to visit a dentist and get it checked. get an x-ray done. if there is infection to the root of the tooth, you need to get it treated. if there is a cavity, get it filled. then you can go for veneers or crown placed over that tooth.
