No, there is some bone implant interaction, but it should not hinder the implant removal as such. You can safely remove it after 1 year.
Next Steps
As years pass by, there could be new bone formation in and around the implant, which might make it a little bit difficult to remove the implant, but it is done quite routinely, so it should not be a problem for the operating surgeon.
