Are the crowns screwed on? I just want to be sure the attachment is secure so I don't have to worry about the crown falling off when I eat or when I'm sleeping at night. Thanks.

There not any more danger for the crown to fall off an implant as it is by a crown falling off a natural tooth. Mine are screwed on. Very secure and I cant remove it. Only a dentist with proper tools can remove them but why would they need too. I don't even get mine removed for cleanings.
Many are cemented just like other crowns are.

Always have your wisdom teeth removed by a specialist oral & Maxillofacial surgeon. To find out about impacted teeth, prophylactic wisdom tooth surgery, general tooth extraction (including adjacent tooth shifts), types of anesthesia (oral sedation, IV sedation, local LA or general GA), stitches, complications, dry socket, lump lip or tongue, and dental implants in Australia, go to http://www.dentalimplantsaustralia.com/

An implant can be either a screw on implant, or cement on implant. Both are secure.
