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: 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
