Andrea M. are temps always screwed onto implants while healing for the 4-6 months or still wear flipper during that time ?
Jordan A. yes, temps are always screwed until your perm is ready

Andrea M. yes, that’s right. It’s day 12 since i had my surgery and i can eat everything i want now. I’m in love with my temps 😊

Andrea M. yes, they pulled all my teeth on top and did bone grafting and next day put my temps
Cherry Rose K. oh wow! How quick! That’s great that you didn’t have to wait for anything to heal and we’re able to get temps in right away
