Temporary Dental Prosthesis

A temporary dental prosthesis is a short-term solution designed to replace missing or damaged teeth during the transition period before a permanent restoration is placed. It helps protect prepared teeth, maintain aesthetics, and ensure functional comfort throughout the dental treatment process.

At Medixir Clinic, we use temporary prostheses to bridge the gap between different stages of treatments such as implants, crowns, bridges, or full-mouth rehabilitations. These provisional restorations allow patients to continue daily life without embarrassment or discomfort.

Temporary prostheses come in various forms depending on the case: temporary crowns, bridges, partial dentures, or full temporary dentures. They are typically made from acrylic or resin materials, offering flexibility, comfort, and adequate strength for short-term use.

These restorations are crucial for maintaining oral health. They prevent teeth from shifting, preserve gum shape, and allow patients to adapt to the look and feel of their upcoming permanent prosthesis. This trial phase also provides valuable feedback for final adjustments.

The process is quick and non-invasive. After tooth preparation or extraction, we take digital impressions to design and fabricate your temporary prosthesis. Placement is completed in the same or next visit, ensuring you leave the clinic with a complete smile.

Though not as strong as permanent restorations, temporary prostheses are carefully fitted to ensure they remain stable and functional until final placement. They are designed to look natural and restore speech and chewing ability during the healing or lab phase.

It’s important to follow care instructions for temporary prostheses: avoid hard or sticky foods, practice good hygiene, and attend all follow-up appointments. This ensures the restoration remains intact and your gums stay healthy.

Patients undergoing implant surgery or full smile makeovers often wear temporary prostheses for several weeks to months. During this time, we monitor healing, aesthetics, and bite function to finalize the design of the permanent restoration.

Temporary prostheses are also useful in emergency dental care, offering immediate aesthetic and functional relief while a long-term solution is prepared.

At Medixir Clinic, we ensure your temporary prosthesis fits comfortably, looks natural, and supports a smooth and confident treatment journey until your final smile is ready.
