After spending way too much time in a dentist chair, having had 28 crowns, I know for a fact that they can and should tint the implant to match the existing teeth, unless there is some other reason to whiten. It may be that she is young and teeth will darken over time and aging...which may cause you to want to do the whitening as well.

I have had to have some of my crowns redone, and they can match the tints almost exactly, certainly closer than your eye can detect.
