2 options: Implant crowns can either be cemented on to the abutment or screw-retained. The latter may require a filling over the access hole.

Glue or screw: The restorative dentist will make a working model of our implant once it is ready. They will either make the crown that can be srewed to the implant, or the will screw in a small custom post which will then have a crown glued on.

Cement or screw: The crown can be placed on the tooth using a special cement. Sometimes, the crown can be screwed/attached into the center of the dental implant.

2 ways: The crown can be screwed directly to the implant -- i always like this best. The implant may have an abutment screwed to it first - often to correct an angulation requirement - and the crown may then be cemented to the abutment. Another option in the case of multiple tooth replacement is the multi-tooth prosthesis being screwed to the abutments. For single crown, however, the first 2 apply.

Cement or screw: Depending on the practitioner and hte situation a crown can be cemented onto an abutment or the crown and abutment are integrated and the whole unit is crew retained on the implant. There are also some implant systems that allow for a "press fit" abutment and crown.

Dental implants: Restorations for dental implants can be screw or cement retained. Screw retained is a more retrievable option.

Very carefully: The crown is cemented on the abutment. There are many different cements. It is up to your dentist to decide what is the best choice in each specify situation.

Cement or Screw: The implant crown is most often cemented onto the implant abutment. This allows for the most natural looking implant crown. The second option is to have the implant crown screw-retained. The advantage here is that it is easily retrievable should an issue with the abutment or implant evolve. The screw hole is then filled with tooth colored material.

Implant/Crown: Implants are placed in the bone to replace missing teeth. Once they heal (usually about 3 months) they are uncovered and a healing cap is placed. After a few days impressions are taken to restore the implant. Attachment of the crowns can vary between cementing them in once the post is inserted or Screwed directly into the implant. The method depends on your dentists implants used and the lab
