Would a tightly fitted crown on an implant damage the adjacent teeth

Q. Hello. I recently had the crown fitted after a dental implant UL6 a day after I noticed the the crown felt very tight and I was unable to floss between UL5,4,3,2, a week later I returned to practice that fitted the implant the crown was removed and I think filed and re fitted, I found after a day or so there was no difference so returned again where the crown was removed and another impression taken the crown being returned to the dental lab, I have not had it re fitted yet, the gap between the adjacent teeth has now returned to normal, I cannot recall UL2 ever sticking out slightly as it is now and the dental surgeon said it would not be possible for the implant that was tight to move UL 2, I am concerned as the tightly fitting crown was in place for over two weeks some damage may have occured to the adjacent teeth, could you give me some help please. Thank You

A. I wouldn’t expect a tooth four teeth away to move. It is likely to be coincidence. However you should check out UL2 for reasons for the apparent change. Rob
