Screw retained vs cement retained implant which is best?
I prefer the screw retained implants whenever possible because there are no margins that other dentists can criticize and find fault. You can access the implant easily if you ever need to also. The cement retained many times getting the crown to fit flush is difficult and can create voids were the two meet. If the abutment ever loosens, you have to drill through the crown to access the screw hole. Many times the angle of the implant will prevent a screw retained...

Screw Retained Implants Work!
Having a front tooth replaced by an Implant takes special attention. You need to see a dentist who will take the time to educate you about your options. The dentist should take impressions and make a surgical guide for your surgeon so that your Implant is placed correctly when you are ready to replace your missing tooth. Once the Implant has integrated, which may take 3 or more months, you should have a temporary crown done to guide your gum...

Screw retained or Cemented Retained for Front tooth implant
Studies have been showing that bone loss can occur if excess implant cement is not removed well when the cement retained crown is not removed well. On that not the angle of most implants in the front of the mouth sometime make it difficult to restore with a screw retained crown. Speak to your dentist and see what your options are.

Cement-retained crown usually better for front teeth.
I generally choose screw-retained implant crowns for the back teeth and cement-retained ones for the front teeth. This usually has to do with the position of the hole for the screw which is fairly easy to place for a back tooth but not so easy for a front tooth. However, my preference is to go with screw-retained wherever possible. This is because some studies have shown gum irritation and even loss of bone around implants that have cement-retained crowns due to excess...

Screw retained or cement retained implant crown
Cement-retained restorations offer a couple advantages including the elimination of un-esthetic screw access holes and greater resistance to porcelain fracture. The main advantage for screw retained is retrievablility.
In my practice for the usual when the abutment is at least 5mm and/or of proper retention I usually place cement retained restorations
