Do I Need A Temporary Prosthesis After My Full Mouth Dental Implants Are Placed?
Full mouth dental implants in Holbrook, MA are a gold standard tooth replacement option for many reasons. With full arch dental implants, patients get a full arch of natural looking new teeth that lets them chew and speak comfortably.

Luckily, a temporary prosthesis can be placed right after the patient’s full mouth dental implant procedure, giving them a functioning and aesthetically pleasing new smile right away.
