A member asked:

I now have what the dentist calls a visible, "healing cap" over my dental implant. does this mean it is just a screw cap and not an abutment?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: A healing abutment is just a cover for the implant, but also allows the gum to form shape and get it ready for impressions to be taken for the abutment and crown that is to follow
