Healing cap for implants

[john nguyen]

Got two dental implants, went to a new dentist, took some x rays. She me told that there is NO healing caps on the implants and she can't place crowns on them.
Is this true that you must have a healing caps? Can they not cut the gum/tissue to access the implants? Thank!

first question yes it is a must to have a healing cap for implants ... but actually I am still a dentist student so I cant really know why it is for it i didnt take this yet :d but as much as i know healing caps is very important for implants

Second question is unfortunely they can't cutting the gum is a must also to be able to insert the implant within your jaw bone :\
but do not worry you can go for a doctor that would cut it with a laser device which will cause no bleeding nor pain

Good luck and have a nice day
