Frequently Asked Questions

1. What material are the temporary teeth made of?
Temporary teeth are made from PMMA. They’re typically placed about 24 hours after surgery. ( Right now, we usually skip the PMMA and deliver the zirconia the day after surgery )

2. How long are the temporaries meant to last?
Zirconia teeth are built to last a lifetime and come with a lifetime warranty. PMMA can last anywhere from 6 months to 10 years, depending on your bite, habits, and how well they’re cared for.

3. Are there eating restrictions with temporary teeth?
Yes. No matter which material you have, after surgery you’ll need to stay on a soft-food diet for the first three months.

4. If a temporary tooth cracks or breaks, is repair included?
Yes, repairs are included.

5. Can adjustments be made for comfort, bite, or appearance? How many?
Of course. We’ll make as many adjustments as needed. In some cases, we can even remake the teeth in under 12 hours. Since we have our own in-house lab, changes are quick and easy.

6. Do the temporary teeth affect the final look of the permanent teeth?
Yes. Whether you start with PMMA or zirconia, we use your feedback after surgery to fine-tune the shape, bite, and appearance before finalizing everything.
