When you get a DENTAL IMPLANT, it’s often desirable to have a TEMPORARY TOOTH in place immediately for aesthetic and functional reasons. This temporary tooth can be bonded to the adjacent teeth to provide stability and a natural look. Here are some key points about this process:

IMMEDIATE PROVISIONALIZATION : This involves placing a temporary crown or bridge immediately after the implant surgery. This temporary restoration is usually made from acrylic and is designed to look like a natural tooth .
BONDING TO ADJACENT TEETH: The temporary tooth can be bonded to the adjacent teeth to ensure it stays in place and provides a stable, natural appearance. This method helps in maintaining the position and contour of the soft tissues around the implant .
BENEFITS: Immediate provisionalization helps in shaping the soft tissue, providing aesthetics, and allowing the patient to avoid the inconvenience of a removable temporary restoration.
CONSIDERATIONS: The temporary restoration is not meant for heavy chewing or biting. It is primarily for aesthetic purposes and to help the soft tissues heal properly around the implant .
If you have any specific concerns or need more detailed information, it’s always best to consult with your dentist or oral surgeon. They can provide personalized advice based on your individual case.
