Temporary Crowns

Temporary crowns are interim restorations.

Benefits

• Diagnostic tool
• Protect teeth
• Stabilise tooth position
• Allow soft tissue remodelling, especially with implants

Considerations

• The length of time temporary restorations are worn varies from a few days to several weeks or months.
• Full mouth reconstruction cases often employ long-term provisionals for aesthetic and functional evaluation.
• Provisionals enable the patient to assess the final result of a smile design or definitive reconstruction. The patient can make an informed decision regarding the contour, size, function and colour of the proposed restoration.
• For larger cases, excellent well-fitting temporaries enable the patient to trial the phonetics of the final prosthesis.
