Temporary or provisional crown on a tooth or implant - made in a dental office (chairside procedures)

Last Updated: January 1

Overview

A provisional crown is intended to provide temporary function until the final crown is made or the tooth is removed. This crown is made in a dental office (chairside procedures) and is used only when it is not an essential part of another dental service. It should not be used as a temporary restoration between visits during the process of making the final crown.
