Provisionals

Highly scratch resistant, PMMAs offer transparency and high gloss in addition to good rigidity. They are an excellent option for both crowns and bridges, offering a beautiful temporary smile through strength and stability.

PMMA Temporaries

With our PMMA Temporaries, you can provide your patients with a beautiful smile as soon as you prepare their teeth. These crowns and full-arch bridges restore lost vertical dimension and promote contoured healing for ovate pontics or anterior extractions. The temporary material is designed using CAD/CAM and forms a tooth shape that protects the prepared tooth, preventing damage to the periodontal tissues (gums) and disguises the prepared tooth to a degree until the final restoration can be made.
