Status: READY_TO_PUBLISH · Apex Implant Centers Primary intent: temporary teeth during dental implants Elk Grove Phone: (916) 886-1806 NAP: 9340 W Stockton Blvd, Suite 120, Elk Grove, CA 95758 As-of: 2026-09-21 ~2:41 PM PT
Many implant and full-arch plans include some form of temporary teeth while healing happens. Temporaries are not the final prosthesis—they protect appearance and, in some plans, limited function. This page is general education for Elk Grove patients. Your written plan overrides anything here. No fees, “same-day guarantee” claims, or success rates are invented.
Why temporaries show up in a plan
They can cover a space after extraction, support soft tissue shape, and let you practice speaking and light eating before the final teeth. Not every single-tooth case uses the same temporary style as a full-arch case.
Common formats (education, not a catalog)
- Removable flipper or partial
- Temporary crown on a temporary abutment (when indicated)
- Full-arch temporary prosthesis attached on surgery day or shortly after (plan-dependent)
Ask which format your sequence includes—and what you should avoid biting with it.
Care habits that usually matter
Clean as demonstrated—do not invent paste or rinse recipes. Avoid sticky candy and hard crunch for the window your team names. If something feels loose, call using the number on your instructions rather than waiting for the next hygiene visit.
Questions to bring to the consult
- Will I leave with temporary teeth the same day?
- What foods are off-limits with the temporary?
- Who repairs it if it cracks on a weekend?
- How does the temporary differ from the final in look and chew strength?
- What signs mean I should call sooner?
