Are implants generally this opaque

[Kennethk]

I'm pleased with the end result but curious if there are a there methods I could ask about to make it blend better.

The implant crown can be removed and perhaps stained, in order to make it look more natural. Keep in mind, this is a lower premolar and not always that visible, especially as you grow older. In terms of transluceny, this should have been done during the initial manufacturing process, but an implant crown cannot be too thin, or it might break.

If you mean the access hole in the centre of the crown, then it's best to keep it a shade different to the crown. It helps future dentists se where the access is for the screw.
