I got my implant crown seated today. The dentist still isn’t 100% happy with the color but he said we can redo the crown later if need be. He wanted me to evaluate it and see how it felt and looked to me. He wanted to get the crown in because my teeth around it were shifting inward, and my flipper was getting tight to take in and out.
So the gums were super tight but he wants to give it two weeks for them to relax down. Right now there is a spot that is almost bluish colored from being compressed. He said he didn’t want to cut unless he had to, to preserve aesthetics.
The problem is that I haven’t had a “normal” tooth in there for a long time. I can’t tell if it looks good or not. My husband said it is a little darker, but doesn’t look bad. I would think it would be near impossible to get a perfect color match. He already sent it back once as it was too light. I think it looks off somehow, but can’t verbalize what it is. Or maybe the dentist telling me that he wasn’t 100% happy with it has made me biased?
Sorry the picture quality isn’t great.
