Need Implant on my Front Tooth, Worried About Matching Previous Crowns, What to Do? (photo)

Looking at the photo I feel that your front two crowns are too wide presently and could be greatly improved with the right cosmetic dentist and laboratory.  I would replace the restorations on all four teeth making the front two teeth slightly more narrow.  I would also do some slight laser recontouring on the gums of the two veneered teeth.  This would give them a slightly longer appearance and make the front two teeth not appear as long.  Good luck.  

What you suggest is what works best, redoing crowns and veneers to be certain they match.  Redoing work also ensures that the teeth are symmetrical and proportioned right.  An experienced cosmetic dentist should have no problem doing this.

Matching a single crown to natural teeth can be very challenging.However, since the adjacent teeth are already restored with porcelain restorations, it should be very achievable in the hands of a talented ceramist.I hope you find this information to be helpful,Dr. Champagne

Your dentist can replace  the veneers when the new implant crown is made so that they all match.  Matching a crown to existing veneers can be difficult, but if your dentist works with a master ceramist it can be done.  Custom shading can be matched so that they look almost identical, but the easiest way to ensure a match is to replace the adjacent veneers at the same time.

Hi

Your dentist can replace the veneers if they present with poor aesthetics currently and also other crowns on natural teeth. Then he can make the implant crowns, veneers, and other crowns at same time to match everything and get a more color and form consistency. If existing crowns and veneers are somewhat acceptable, then he or she can try to match the implant crown as best as possible. This may be more difficult to perfectly match, but if they work with a master ceramist, it can be done.
