Cosmetically unsatisfied with length of dental implants. Can bonding or composite be used to lengthen them temporarily? (photo)

Asked By:annabe11e in Raleigh-Durham, NC

Because of anodontia, in 2014, both my upper left and right lateral incisors have been occupied by porcelain dental implants. In 2016, one of my implants grew loose, as a result of a defected screw which had to be replaced. It has been hectic & costly. Yet I'm unsatisfied. I agonize over how I wish they matched the length of my canine teeth. I've spoken with my dentist about having them redone, but it is currently a financial burden. Is it possible to use bonding to lengthen my dental implants?
