Temporary dentures
Temporary crowns, bridges, or temporary removable dentures
Are you delaying the restoration of your dental line? Don't you want to live with an incomplete smile while permanent prosthetics are being prepared? We have a solution!
During the preparation of a permanent crown or bridge, as well as for several months after implantation, you can temporarily replace the missing tooth with a temporary crown, bridge, or removable prosthesis. This ensures an aesthetic appearance of the patient throughout the entire process, and also do not forget that a temporary prosthesis protects the teeth being treated.
Before the permanent prosthetics are completed, the patient receives a temporary crown or bridge made of plastic. Their color is matched to the color of the patient's teeth, and in the process they are fixed to neighboring teeth. If this is not possible, you can discuss the possibility of using a removable prosthesis with your doctor.
Depending on the treatment, temporary prosthetics can be immediate — it is a temporary plastic prosthesis made in the office, or a fixed temporary prosthesis, which can be made within 2-3 days by a dental technician, or a temporary removable prosthesis, if it is a question of the recovery period after implantation.
Get back to everyday life without worries!
The installation of a temporary crown or bridge serves not only to make your smile look full again and to protect the treated dental surfaces, but also to restore chewing function. Temporary prosthetics, which are immediately available, although not as carefully designed as permanent ones, perfectly fulfill their tasks during this transitional period. With a temporary solution, you can immediately return to your daily activities, which is an important factor in our fast-paced world.
What happens when a temporary crown is removed?
Removing a temporary crown is not painful, however, due to the fact that the fixing part is cut, after removal it cannot be repaired and re-glued. A permanent crown can only be installed when the gum is completely healthy and has the correct shape. Gum healing can take several weeks, as there are patients whose gums heal slowly.
After removing the temporary prosthesis, the dentist tries on a permanent crown in the patient's mouth, and if it suits the patient, it is fixed. If the color or shape of the crown is not suitable, then an adjustment is possible.
