Is it possible to save crowns on a bridge to make room for an implant?

lostindc
I have a three unit bridge with short rooted but not mobile crowned abutment teeth. I would like an implant in the pontic area but I want to minimize messing with these delicate abutment teeth and avoid the recrowning process. The bridge is porcelain. It is not about the money it is about minimizing risks. The abutment teeth may make it to be replaced by bioteeth if i minimize risks (10-15 years)!!! These teeth are in the front. A bone graft will be required in pontic area. Thanks
