How do you choose the shade of color for a rear crown tooth on a new
implant?... a bit lighter? the same shade of color?

A1 appeared lighter, A2 appeared a bit lighter, A3 appeared to match
although maybe a bit darker?

My personal opinion is to go with the A3. You don't want a
lighter tooth attracting attention.

The other option would be to use the A2 and bleach the other
teeth, but this would be something to contend with forever.
