Can I have a temporary plate while waiting the required time for my 2 implants?

Question

Yes you can. However, if the implants are in the back of the mouth, we usually recommend leaving the space to allow for better healing. Stayplates are typically for cosmetic reasons. 
Happy healing!

Hi:Normally, you should be able to get a flipper (temporary partial) while waiting for your implants to heal.  Best,Dr. Maddahi

Depending on where you are missing teeth and the location of the implants will determine what temporary or transitional appliance can be worn.Most of us whom place implants prefer to have the area heal without pressure from a temporary.  Our patients want teeth ASAP so we compromise.I do not recommend removable partial plates due to the movements on pressure placed on the healing tissues but they can be worn in certain circumstances per your dentists recommendation.When possible, I utilize Essix Appliances and bonded temporaries but you will need to have teeth on both sides of the implant surgical site to benefit from these.Another option is to just wait it out if it is a back tooth issue.  Stay with a soft diet and focus on a great hygiene routine for your soon to be new teeth!

Yes. Your dentist should be able to make an interim partial in most circumstances. This can help you function and smile while waiting.
