Temporary crown
Temporary crowns are an essential step in the preparation for permanent prosthetics. They protect the prepared teeth and restore their function and aesthetics during the period while permanent crowns are being made. At Gallant Dental Clinic, our experienced dentists use modern materials and technologies to fabricate temporary crowns that provide comfort and aesthetics throughout the treatment process.
Advantages of temporary crowns at Gallant Dental Clinic:
Tooth protection: Temporary crowns protect prepared teeth from sensitivity, damage, and infections.
Aesthetics: Temporary crowns have a natural appearance, ensuring a harmonious smile even during treatment.
Functionality: Temporary crowns restore chewing function and contribute to proper articulation.
Comfort: Lightweight construction and high-quality materials ensure comfort while wearing.
Indications for temporary crown placement:
- Preparation for the placement of permanent crowns
- Protection of prepared teeth during the fabrication of permanent prostheses
- Aesthetic and functional needs during the treatment period
The procedure for making and placing temporary crowns includes the following stages:
1. Consultation with a prosthodontist
The first stage involves a detailed examination of the oral cavity, assessment of the condition of the teeth, and determining the indications for the placement of temporary crowns. The dentist discusses possible treatment options with the patient and develops an individual treatment plan.
2. Tooth preparation
The dentist performs tooth preparation, including removal of damaged tissues and shaping the tooth to achieve the proper form for the fixation of a temporary crown.
3. Taking impressions
The dentist takes impressions of the patient's teeth and gums to create an individual model of the temporary crown. This allows for an ideal fit of the crown in the oral cavity.
4. Fabrication of the temporary crown
The temporary crown is made either in a dental laboratory based on the individual impressions or directly at the clinic. The prosthesis is fabricated using high-quality materials that provide a natural look and comfort.
5. Placement of the temporary crown
The dentist performs a fitting and placement of the temporary crown on the tooth. The crown is fixed using temporary cement, which ensures reliable fixation during the treatment period.


Post-procedure care:
Regular oral hygiene: Brush your teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste and use dental floss.
Avoid excessive stress: Refrain from eating very hard or sticky foods that could damage the temporary crown.
Regular visits to the dentist: Attend preventive check-ups and monitoring of the temporary crown throughout the treatment period.

How are temporary crowns made?
Before the tooth is shaped and the final form of the crown is created, an impression is taken using silicone material. Then the tooth is prepared, the chosen material is placed into the impression, and it is positioned in the oral cavity. As a result, a temporary crown is formed with the shape of the tooth before its preparation.
What is the care required for temporary crowns?
Care for temporary crowns requires the most thorough attention. Plaque often accumulates in the gaps between the crowns and natural teeth, which must be removed regularly using dental floss.
When wearing temporary crowns for a long time, it is important to follow these rules:
- Avoid hard foods such as nuts, crackers, and caramels;
- Avoid staining foods and drinks;
- Maintain oral hygiene.
