implant placed during surgery?

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

I will need an implant when all is said and done with the braces and

surgery. I figure if my surgery is in December, with any luck I'll

get my braces off in May and get the implant " stud " placed soon

thereafter. It needs to heal anywhere from 2 to 6 months before the

crown is permanently put in, putting my real finish time with all

this dental stuff around October 05, give or take a month or two.

What I'm wondering is can they place the stud (forgive me, I don't

know the proper terminology) during my jaw surgery in December? I can

certainly wait if I need to, but boy would it be wonderful to get

this finished sooner!

P.S. The implant is for a missing incisor, right up front. That's why

it needs to be put in so quickly after the braces come off.
