Before cementing, I did notice micro leakage on original tooth, but the doctor said it was just staining. And the overall color of the tooth looked good after cementing. Now the blue stump has become more noticeable. I already inquired about bleaching the tooth or having something that would block the underlying color under crown, but doctor was not capable of doing any. Under natural lighting it looks fine, but it looks darkened under indoor lighting

Each case varies on protocol. If you are having a crown placed on the tooth in a following appointment then this is just another routine part of the procedure.
There are crowns made for teeth and crowns specifically made for implants. they are custom made and only work once. Once the tooth underneath breaks down, another crown must be made to be an accurate fit. Anything else would be substandard.
We would need to see more of your teeth and full face to tell. But correcting your midline will require crowns, bridge involving all of your front teeth on both sides. Careful planning and smile design will do the trick.
