Can an implant crown be replaced with more bulk in the back using the same abutment?

April 5, 2014

I had an implant placed where my canine tooth is. The tooth looks great! I like it. However, the back of the crown is too concave, short and not bulked up enough to match the opposite side canine tooth. My tongue goes to the back of the new crowned implant constantly--and food gets trapped between the premolar next to it and the crown of the implant. It is driving me crazy. Can the crown be replaced with more bulk in the back with the same abutment and implant?
