What to Expect Before, During and After
On the day of placement, our dentist confirms shade and contour, then seats the provisional with materials designed for secure but removable hold. We refine high spots, check how your teeth meet and review home-care tools that keep the edges clean. Some mild warmth or pressure is normal for a short time. If the provisional feels loose or rough later, call us for a quick refinement. Your follow-up visit allows us to evaluate gum shaping, confirm your bite and finalize details for your definitive restoration. Multilingual instructions are available upon request.
