This is an important aspect of dental implant treatment which often gets overlooked during the initial consultation stage by both specialists/dentists and patients. This is because at the initial consultation stage more emphasis is usually placed on the discussion of how the "missing teeth can be replaced", rather than on "what new teeth would look like".

The esthetics of your final result is clearly more important if you are replacing your front (particularly upper) teeth. In those cases it is imperative that you examine "before and after" photographs of your specialist's previous implant cases that were similar to your situation.

The discussion of the esthetics of your case supported by before-and-after photos of prior cases should set a clear expectation for both yourself and your specialist as to the final appearance of your implant.
