My two front teeth came out at the root because of an accident last year. A dental surgeon rebuild the bone & skin, and I went to a general dentist for implants. They suggested temporary implants for a few months so the gums have time to adjust around which cost $700. My dentist said the permanate implants won't look like this, but why are they both a dark grey color and is this normal? I understand the gum area being grey but the whole tooth?
Answer: Grey teeth implant crowns There are a few ways to improve this and none of my patients would ever accept this even temporarily as they would question my ability to finish the case satisfactory. Motivate your dentist do better as it obviously bothers you and I am sure they can improve as we all like happy patients that brag on our dental work.

Answer: Grey implant temporaries Your final crowns won't look gray. The gray is caused by a metal post holding your crowns to the implants. The implants are not causing the grayness. You can ask your dentist if he will change out the metal posts for tooth colored plastic posts. This will correct the grayness that you see. Good luck! :)

Answer: Grey Teeth No worries! Your grey teeth are like that because there is a metal piece that goes into your implants which hold in the temps. That metal is shining through the plastic. It won't be like that when the crowns are completed.

Answer: Gray Temporary Implant Crowns Without an X-ray this is an educated guess. I think the temporary abutment (the part that inserts into the actual implant) is gray metal and the actual temporary material for the crown is too dark and too translucent.

Answer: Dark Gray Temporary 'Implants' I believe you are speaking of gray implant temporary restorations and that the implants themselves are not temporary. The temporary restoration (provisional) on the implant might be made of Titanium and with thin restoration material, the color can appear grayish. Your dentist may choose a white temporary abutment (temporary abutments) and a provisional with corrected shade match to improve it. Otherwise you can wait for the final restoration which can be made completely from ceramic material as guided by your aesthetic needs, tissue thickness, occlusion (bite), etc.I hope this is helpful.
