Crown after dental implant pregnancy safe?

[reminisce21]

Hi, was trying to get more information ahead of time. I will be needing crowns for my dental implants in about 4 months.

For the process of getting crowns after implants, will I be needing to take a new X-ray or getting any numbing injections etc? (Anything unsafe for potential pregnancy?)

Just want to see if I need to be pushing back trying to conceive even further, thanks very much

You will need some x-rays taken, in order to ensure the accurate fit of the impression copings as well as the final crown. Sometimes you need local anaesthetic as well when the healing abutment is screwed off, since the gum tissue can be quite sensitive.

Okay good to know, thanks very much!
