I got a dental implant crown five months ago. I\u2019m pretty frustrated because the crown is on a left incisor and the color is off. The crown is darker than my other teeth and it actually looks worse now that the natural tooth did. On the first try, my dentist didn\u2019t get the color right and he told me that it \u201cdidn\u2019t look that bad.\u201d After I insisted that he do something about it, he sent me to the lab to get the color matched to my natural teeth. I am starting to think that he really doesn\u2019t know how to do it. So the second crown was ready and he cements in on, no checking, no questions asked. It\u2019s worse than ever. I need to bring this issue to a close with my dentist. I can\u2019t keep the tooth like this but neither do I want him touching it again. What are my options? Thanks for your help!

Emilee \u2013 Your situation is unfortunate. And it shows the value of an artistic cosmetic dentist. There are very few dentists with artistic inclination, but an artistic cosmetic dentist will be very attentive and determined to give you a beautiful porcelain crown<\/a> that matches the color of your natural teeth\u2014before the crown is cemented. If the crown is received and it doesn\u2019t perfectly match your teeth, or if you don\u2019t like the color, he or she will return it to the lab until it’s just as you want it.<\/p>\n

Your being sent to the lab for a color match was an indication that your dentist is not comfortable with the art of cosmetic dentistry.<\/p>\n

You will need a new crown to correct the situation. Find an artistic cosmetic dentist to do the work. No damage will be done to your dental implant<\/a>. You\u2019ll get an accurate match to your natural teeth and you will be able to confidently smile again.<\/p>\n
