What exactly is a provisional restoration?+
It is a stage used before final work, when needed, to evaluate things like bite, comfort or appearance. It gives you and the dentist real-world information ahead of definitive treatment.
Does everyone go through a trial stage?+
No. Provisional care is used when it is needed, so whether it forms part of your sequence depends on your case. Ask what purpose it would serve for you.
What if I do not like how the trial teeth look?+
Say so. Appearance is one of the things this stage can evaluate, and hearing your reaction before definitive work begins gives the dentist a chance to discuss what could change.
Can I eat normally with provisional restorations?+
They may need more care than finished restorations. Ask which foods to be cautious with and how to clean around them, as this varies with what was placed.
How long will I wear them?+
That depends on your plan, including healing and laboratory stages. Timing varies widely, so ask for an estimate once your sequence is clear, and remember it could shift.
