New Crown on old (18 year old) dental implant, lateral incisor - what expectations should I have? (photos)

ELNSLOANFeb 27, 2022
What expectations should I have for the shape, size, and color of a lateral incisor crown? I don’t feel 100% happy with this crown but it was so much better than the last two my dentist presented me. When he placed it I raised concerns about the value, but he promised me it was perfect. I have noticed it is a warmer (yellow) chroma whereas my natural teeth seem cool and lower in value. It also seems too big. Am I being too picky?
