I've done a lot of implants, and I've done that. My operation was done under a local anesthetic until the anesthetic was worn down and it began to ache and I felt anything. I spent two days in Vicodin, and then it's all right. The holes of special burs are placed in the area of the jaw area where the implant is located. Implants are fixed and stitched together if needed. A temporary plug is placed on implants to help prevent gum growth. It only has a few months left, so the bones can fuse with the implant. During this treatment, you may temporarily wear a look. Then implant a peg in the implant and leave an impression. In a few weeks, the permanent crown comes back from the lab and the crown is permanently glued to the implant. It's a great way to replace missing teeth, and they're very successful. Good luck with you.
