Extracting dental implants

by shabeer
(India)

I am a 25 year old guy.

I lost my front tooth when I was 10 year old and my doctor solved the gap by fixing an implant.
Two years ago I aligned my teeth with braces.
Now my issue is that the implanted tooth hasn't moved and it stays slightly upward to all my teeth.

Now I have a question : is it possible to extract this implant with screw and place an other one?

If any one know please help me. I want to pull and redo it .My doctor says I don't need to pull it and it looks normal.But I think it looks ugly.

It is a cumbersome procedure for pulling out an implant and placing a new one: money and time factor( too much)
