Does a gastroenterologist usually place anything into the mouth of a patient having a colonoscopy? three weeks ago had a dental implant screw placed with a cap to protect healing area while bone hardens for a crown. (??

No worries, your implant and healing cap are perfectly safe.

Usually nothing is necessary to be placed in the mouth, as long as you are not having general anesthesia. If you are having propofol or conscious sedation, there will probably not be necessary to place anything in the mouth. Be sure to let your doctor know before the procedure though. Good luck.
