Second stage of implants. Is this a common method?

kehylar
I had a tooth extraction and first phase of implant done outside the US, the gum was closed and stitched over and everything has gone well so far. I'm confused about getting the second part done in one trip though, everything I read online says that the implant would need surgical uncovering and time to heal before doing the abutment and crown, but they said they can do it all in one trip using WaterLase laser. Is this a common method? Any risks to not having additional healing time?
