[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^PP here:  Then, your general dentist will order a custom abutment and this will be placed in the implant and an x ray to confirm proper seating as well as an impression will be done.  The custom abutment will be removed and placed in the impression and sent to the lab.  The dentist will then replace the healing cap, and you will wait two more weeks for the implant supported crown.  Then, your dentist will  place the custom abutment and torque it into place.  Finally, the crown is cemented over the abutment.  This is the best way to go.  Beware of surgeons who offer [/b]same day implants[b].  They will not hold up.  The cost at my office, including the surgeon fees (wich or separate) is about $3500-4500 per per tooth.  Insurance usually covers about half of the cost.  It is very important after you get an implant, that you continue regular dental care.[/quote]

By this I mean implant, abutment, and crown all done on the same day.  The bone needs time to grow around the implant an heal before anything else can be done.  This is not the time to be frugal either.  [/quote]
