    Can you put a Temporary Tooth while waiting for an Implant?

    Chloe and Marcus explain your temporary tooth replacement options while you wait for a dental implant, from flippers and temporary bridges to same-day teeth on implants. Cleveland Clinic says jawbone healing around an implant can take three to nine months, depending on how quickly you heal. Front teeth usually get a temporary tooth during healing, while back teeth may not need one. A flipper is a removable partial denture; a temporary bridge stays fixed to the teeth beside the gap. In many full arch cases, replacement teeth can be placed on the same day as the implants. Tooth location, healing time, neighboring teeth, comfort and budget shape the best choice.
