I have eight extractions and six implants were placed at the same time. Three more implants on upper jaw but have no healing cap placed on them after the surgery. One implant on lower jaw has no healing cap as well, are the healing caps critical for the healing? It's been ten days after the surgery, is it too late to put them on?
