I hate my front tooth implant and the gum above it has receded for some reason. My dentist recommended me just to change the crown of the implant and get it with a pink porcelain on top to imitate my gums. Is it the best option for me? I usually smile with my gums visible a little. What is your opinion about single tooth implant crown with pink porcelain? My dentist also said to put a crown on the healthy second front tooth for the best matching result

Answer: Front Implant Crown Hi there, yes it must be hard to smile freely with that mismatched implant crown. I can feel your pain. You do have some options. The first is that I would find a board accredited cosmetic dentist to consult with. Dr. Jeff Shapiro down in Wall Street or come on up here to New Haven. Your wider smile and your smaller teeth, with the mismatched gum line require special care. Other dentist here on RealSelf have given you good suggestions...they are all suggestions that necessitate a dentist who has an aesthetic eye and won't put up with a mediocre result. (You can not afford a mediocre result.) So first find the right dentist. Then you can talk with them about possible removal of the implant followed by new bone, possible gum grafting, and a new implant; or using a periodontist to add in new gum tissue to your existing implant; or using pink porcelain to hide the gum defect; or even doing both front teeth.I like the first two options the best for your best smile. You are talking about your smile and the rest of your life. You do not want to go second best on this. Good luck. Call me if you would like to talk this over. 203-624-5256 or 203-980-9663 (cell)
