A screw-retained implant restoration is the best option.
Screw-retained implant restorations consist of a one-piece structure with the implant connection and implant restoration as a single unit.

The ability to retrieve the restoration is useful if the implant crown needs to be repaired or replaced due to fractured porcelain or an open contact developing between the implant crown and the natural tooth.
