Should I wait until crown fails before getting implant?

Q. my dentist said when i had a missing tooth that i could either get a crown or an implant. at the time (about two years ago now) i decided to go with the crown as i could not afford implants. Now i can afford implants but am unsure whether it is best to just wait until the crown needs replacing. It is hoplding up well according to my dentist so what would youa advise?
A. wait until it fails again, unless there is infection
