Non-metal Temporary Crowns ❘ Southern Cross Dental

Temporary Crowns Overview

These can be extremely useful as the patient can assess the final result of a smile design or definitive reconstruction and make an informed decision regarding the contour, size, function and colour of the proposed restoration.

Benefits for your patients

Helpful diagnostic tool.
Protects teeth.
Stabilises the tooth position.
Allows soft tissue remodelling, especially with implants.

Considerations

Full mouth reconstruction cases often employ long-term provisionals for aesthetic and functional evaluation.
For larger cases, excellent well-fitting temporary implant crowns enable the patient to trial the phonetics of the final prosthesis.
Temporary restorations can be worn a few days, several weeks or even months.
