Well, currently, I've had something like this done up to now.

Basically, cut the gum, put in impant, sewed it up, ans said see you in 6 months to let it heal.

What I want to know is, what happens next? I take it he will cut open the gum again. Will the dentist just use local anaesthetic, or will he put me under general anaesthetic again?

Thanks.

Your dentists will most likely administer some local anaesthetic in order to retrieve the implant. The procedure is simple and only takes a few moments and can be done with a laser or small scalpel

I hope this helps

Kindest regards

I see, thanks.

Also, when he does this, will he put the crown on the same day? Or, will he take a mould of my mouth again, so he can get one made?

[Dr Pav Khaira]

He will be making a mould of your mouth so that the lab can fabricate the crown

Kindest regards
