Temporary crown in Clinica Dental Raices
About the clinic
A temporary crown at Clínica Dental Raíces in Los Gigantes, Tenerife, serves as a provisional restoration to protect your tooth or implant site. This treatment is a vital step during the healing phase of dental implants or while waiting for a permanent crown. The clinic provides personalized care in a boutique setting to help you maintain a natural look throughout your recovery.
The Purpose of a Temporary Crown
A temporary crown is a short-term cap placed over a prepared tooth or a fresh dental implant. It helps keep the gums in the correct shape and prevents sensitivity. Most patients wear these provisional restorations for about 3–4 months while the laboratory crafts the final version. This step is often recommended for the "aesthetic zone," which refers to the teeth that show when you smile.
The clinic uses specific materials for these restorations, including:
- Acrylic resin for a lightweight fit.
- Composite materials to match the color of your natural teeth.
- Special adhesives that allow for easy removal when the permanent crown is ready.

General and Preventive Dentistry
Preventive care focuses on early detection of decay and gum disease. Specialists perform root canal treatments (endodontics) to save damaged teeth.
