2 Tips For Preventing Infection During A Two-Stage Dental Implant Placement
Dental implants can be placed in either one or two stages. Two-stage dental implant placements require an additional surgery.

Once the implant bonds with the gums and bones in your mouth, your dentist will add the crown in the second stage. While the area heals, the surgical site is more vulnerable to infection.
