Gum discoloration 8years post implant

2018-04-10 15:07:48
I've had a dental implant placed as my right lateral incisor 8 years ago. For the past 2-3years, the superior aspect of the grey colored screw underneath is visible. Also, my gum superior to the implant have unsightly greyish discoloration. No pain or discomfort of any kind. Dental occlusion is correct. What could be the issue? Which specialist dentist should I correct? Orthodontist or prosthodontist?
