IMMEDIATE TEMPORARY CROWN

In cases where the patient’s crown requires a longer fabrication time, the patient will wear the temporary crown.

A temporary crown protects the tooth and prevents it from moving. Temporary crowns are mostly made out of plastic, but some are metal. Temporary crowns are based upon the impression taken from the patient’s tooth and are placed using temporary cement so they can be removed easily when the permanent crown is ready to be installed.

Temporary crowns can also be used when a you encounter a dental emergency and experience tooth fractures.
