Dental Implant Question After Uncovering?

Aloki
I have implants in teeth 6,7,10,11. I got the implanta uncovered recently. When my Dr uncovered them he put a flat topped screw on and tightened to below the gums. He gave me long screws to take to my regular dentist who is making the crowns, but told me no work should be done for at least a week. The implants are only slightly visible, and I'm afraid the gums are going to heal over them before I get to my dentist? My Dr hasn't been very communicative about the whole procedure so I'm confused.
