I would suggest having a tissue level implant (Strauman is premiere brand) done if it is not a front tooth. There is no need for anesthetic for the second phase. There has been some research showing delayed intellectual development associated with anesthetic during pregnancy.There is an added benefit of no seam between implant parts that can house bacteria.
Hi Lily,Normally, the second stage of the implant procedure is either minimally invasive or completely noninvasive. In the typical scenario, the second stage process involves taking an impression of the fully healed implant. In some cases there is gum tissue that is covering the implant which will need to be removed so that the dentist can take an impression of the implant in order to fabricate the cap and the attachment piece which is called an abutment.In my practice, I would feel completely comfortable doing the second stage procedure on a patient during pregnancy assuming the patient was not having any major pregnancy complications. Hope this was helpfulDr Champagne

The dental literature is quite clear and the evidence is, that it can’t. It can certainly be slowed down, to the point where it doesn’t progress at the rate but, in terms of reverse, there’s been no substantial evidence to show bone regeneration around an implant, post peri-implantitis. Often...
