BACKGROUND Aesthetic dentistry is making its own new position in current scenario. The aesthetic desire of patient has become need of an hour and it is essential for dental practitioner to understand the aesthetics of implants. For planning of implants in anterior region, overall general health of patient should be considered including systemic health, good oral hygiene practice and good compliance of patients. The peri-implant aesthetics is determined by two components - soft tissue and hard tissue, which includes bone and gingiva. Modifications refining the tissues around implant can enhance the aesthetics. Treatment protocol should include pre-planning of all functional and aesthetic considerations which should be discussed to patients as well prior to preceding treatment of implant. Judicious understanding of these factors can not only provide physical integrity of tissue but also prevent future aesthetics and implant failure. Implants in anterior region become challenging for clinicians to emulate what nature has provided. The harmonious relationship between functional stability and peri-implant soft tissue becomes an essential requisite for successful endosseous implant so as to attain proper facial aesthetics. Visualization of aesthetics related to implants is a complex phenomenon which requires utilization of multidisciplinary approach including prosthetic and periodontal consideration as the implant position as well implant abutment junction if placed at improper position can cause bone resorption. Compiling this, comprehensive knowledge regarding soft and hard tissue can help dentists to integrate a balance between the smile and face of an individual. This review article is a detailed endeavour to explore peri-implant aesthetics. KEY WORDS Crestal Bone, Dental Aesthetics, Gingiva, Peri-Implant Aesthetics
