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

annabe11e
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?
