Dental Implants have gone a long way to looking better. Where the demands of a big smile requires ideal esthetics and colour, there are new innovations that have helped the implant crown look perfectly natural. Not too long ago, crowns covering implants had a greyish hue which was indicative of a metallic base underneath the crown. Nowaday, we have attachments (or “abutments”) to the implant which are non metallic that can eliminate the greyness or metallic look, and with the use of porcelain crowns, teeth can hardly be noticed as artificial. See our recent case below where we used a “Zirconia” based attachment/abutment and an all-porcelain “Emax” crown.
