Temporary Restorations
Temporary restorations, provisional crowns and bridges, support function, tissue management and esthetic evaluation while the definitive restoration is completed. Milled or printed in PMMA and resin, they protect the prep, hold the space and let you and your patient preview shape and shade before the final case. Send the scan and the plan, and we produce temporary restorations single or multi-unit.
Where temporary restorations fit
- Prep protection: Provisional coverage that protects the tooth and manages the tissue between visits.
- Esthetic preview: A trial of shape, length and shade before the definitive restoration.
- Complex and staged cases: Multi-unit temporary restorations for full-mouth and implant workflows.
Milled and printed for durability
A provisional that fractures or discolors sends the patient back early. We mill and print temporary restorations in durable PMMA and resin, finish the margins and contacts, and match the shade so they hold up and look right for the interim period. For esthetic cases, temporary restorations double as a preview: approve the shape in provisional form, and the definitive follows the same plan.
