Is there a second surgical stage when getting implants?
Yes. The first stage is when the implants are placed in the jaw and the bone “attaches” or integrates to the implants. In a manner of speaking, the implant becomes part of your body. Months later, the surgeon performs a second procedure to expose the implant and place a “healing abutment” on it. Soon after this is done, the dentist can begin making the desired restoration.
