6. In my experience, implants also take several steps that require recovery time before the next step.

First, I agree with the above posts.

This is a very simplistic timeline, but it is the basic through-line:
1 Rotten tooth needs extraction and the jawbone needs several months to heal before the implant core (female receiver) can be implanted in the jawbone.
2 Your jawbone or associated sinus areas may need additional tweaks before that can happen.
3 Once the implant receiver is in place, you can begin the process of creating the porcelain tooth that will be inserted into the implant receiver by a small metal spine protruding from the top of the replacement tooth.

All of this takes time to heal, evaluate and calibrate the next steps. Bone pain is intense. Dental pain might as well be bone pain in this case. Get any and all anesthesia available for your procedure.
