Short Description
A short-term, removable dental appliance worn after tooth loss or extraction while waiting for a permanent denture.
Long Description
A temporary removable denture is a dental prosthesis designed to replace missing teeth for a short period. It's often provided immediately after extractions or while waiting for a final denture or bridge to be made.
These dentures restore appearance and basic function, helping patients eat and speak while their mouth heals. They're usually made from acrylic and may not fit as precisely as permanent versions, but they serve as an important transitional solution.
Adjustments may be needed as the gums and bone shrink or heal. Once the healing is complete, patients are fitted with a more durable, permanent appliance. Temporary dentures help preserve self-confidence and daily function during the waiting period.
