Is it possible to change the implant tooth?

Q. Hello, I had an implant on my 6th, six months ago and the prosthetic tooth was fixed on it about three weeks ago. implant went very well.two questions 1-Is it possible to change the tooth on the implant after it’s been fixed? mine seems too short. my dentist had to shave teeth on the same side of it too much that now I can feel a gap between them when I close my mouth and pressure on my 3rds and 4ths teeth which is driving me crazy. 2-Will I be able to chew with the prosthetic tooth on the implant without any pain? because I can’t chew crunchy or alittle harder food, like apples!Nuts? don’t even think about it!
A. You should be able to use the tooth as a normal one but you might be best to avoid nuts, just in case!. The gap between the teeth could be closed by just replacing the crown on top of the implant rather than the whole thing. Ask your dentist to take another look and see what he can do. Regards  Andrew
