I just had one done last year. It is stupid expensive. I did the slow but stable system. One surgery to remove the old tooth. Months later another surgery to put in the implant. Months later the in goes the post. A week later I went for the crown.
They basically put a helicoil in my jaw, and a new titanium bolt that the crown attaches to. The surgeon used a neat little bitty torque wrench to tighten up the post. The crown is built around a fixture that snaps into place with a little JB weld. (OK it was a dental glue but some sort of 2 part glue)
I think the torque setting was 1.2 inch pounds.
