Temporary prosthesis – you can smile confidently during the treatment

How does the temporary prosthesis look like?

Temporary crowns, bridges, partial or complete dentures are made of tooth-coloured plastic, so it provides aesthetic appearance.

For how long is the temporary prosthesis wearable?

Temporary crowns do not seal as precisely as final crowns. They cannot be worn longer than a few weeks or months without the danger of caries. These crowns and bridges are fixed with gluing material. The dentist can easily remove or glue them back for he time of treatment. Because of weak gluing the temporary bridge may loosen up between treatments! In this case, the dentist fixes it to its place, out of turn.

Temporary prosthesis made in the dental office – bridge change with crown preparation

This temporary prosthesis is made if the duration of the treatment is shorter – 1-2 weeks. At he end of the treatment, the dentist prepares the temporary crown next to the chair. This way, the patient does not need to have the office "without teeth". The temporary prosthesis protects even the sensitive surface of the teeth.

Temporary prosthesis made by dental technician at tooth extraction

This temporary prosthesis is used when the treatment is longer – for one or two months. If the treatment has to start with a tooth extraction, treatment time is longer. You have to wait 4-6 weeks for the scars to heal. During this time, you do not have to appear without teeth: already on the day of the extraction or the day after the temporary bridge may be ready.

Temporary dentures prepared by dental technician – at implantation

After the operational phase of implantation, the healing period lasts for 4-6 month. The dentist fixes the implant screw in the bone, and stitches the skin above it back together. He can take an impression of the gum after the operation, and the dental technician can prepare the temporary dentures. During the healing period, the dentures provide sufficient aesthetics and helps in chewing and speech too.
