Our provisionals are designed to deliver the fit, strength, and tissue support needed for both single-unit and full-arch restorations, helping you achieve a flawless final result.

In implant dentistry, success is not a matter of chance; it begins with careful planning and robust provisional restorations. Implant provisionals are essential for shaping soft tissue, preserving space, assessing aesthetics, and guiding the final restoration. These temporary restorations serve as more than just placeholders; they are functional tools that contribute significantly to the long-term success of implant-supported restorations.

Denture Over Implant Bars - Burbank Dental Lab

What are implant provisionals?

Implant provisionals are temporary restorations placed on implant fixtures during the healing or osseointegration phase. Unlike traditional temporary restorations, implant provisionals have multiple clinical purposes. In addition to providing aesthetics and function, they help shape the soft tissue, support emergence profiles, and allow both the dentist and patient to preview the final restoration.

These restorations can be screw-retained or cement-retained, made from durable materials such as PMMA or composite, and designed using digital workflows to ensure precision and optimal soft-tissue adaptation.

Key features of implant provisionals

  • Tissue management – Custom contours help shape the gingiva and promote ideal emergence profiles for a natural-looking result.
  • Functional preview – Allows clinicians and patients to evaluate esthetics, phonetics, and function before final delivery.
  • Screw-retained or cement-retained options – Flexibility for different clinical protocols and ease of retrieval.
  • Durable materials – Milled from high-strength PMMA or composite for extended wear during healing phases.
  • Precision fit – CAD/CAM fabrication ensures accurate seating, minimal chairside adjustment, and prosthetic predictability.
  • Customizable esthetics – Available in various shades and contouring to closely mimic the final restoration.

Indications for Use

Implant provisionals are recommended for the following situations:

  • Single-unit implant restorations – Especially in the esthetic zone, where tissue shaping is critical.
  • Multi-unit bridges or full-arch cases – Maintaining space, phonetics, and function during treatment.
  • Immediate load protocols – Offering stability and patient comfort during the healing period.
  • Soft tissue sculpting – Guiding gingival contours around the restoration site.
  • Case trials – Providing an esthetic and functional preview of the final outcome.

Clinical Guidelines

Achieving a successful provisional restoration requires clear communication and precise planning:

  • Implant location and timing – Determine if immediate provisionalization is appropriate or if healing caps will be used prior.
  • Impressions or intraoral scans – Provide accurate implant-level scans or analog impressions with scan bodies or impression copings.
  • Abutment selection – Choose the appropriate temporary abutment or Ti-base for the case.
  • Bite registration – Accurate records ensure the provisional supports the proper occlusion.
  • Esthetic requests – Include information on desired tooth shape, contour, and shade if applicable.

Cementation & Retention Guidelines

Denture-over-implants are removable prostheses secured by attachment systems instead of cementation. Consider the following best practices for optimal retention and function:

  • Screw-Retained Provisionals – Ensure proper torque of temporary abutment. The access hole should be filled with Teflon and sealed with composite or provisional material.
  • Cement-Retained Provisionals – Use temporary or non-eugenol cement to position the seat. Be sure to clean away any excess cement thoroughly to safeguard the surrounding peri-implant tissues.

In both methods, ensure that there is proper tissue contact, stability, and occlusion before you finalize the procedure.

Chairside Adjustments

Most implant provisionals from Burbank Dental Lab require minimal adjustments. However, in some cases, minor refinements may be necessary.

  • Contour modifications – Adjust cervical contours to refine tissue shaping.
  • Occlusal adjustments – Ensure no premature contacts; adjust and polish accordingly.
  • Polishing – Use composite polishers to maintain a smooth, tissue-friendly surface.
  • Tissue fit – Confirm pressure-free seating that allows soft tissue to heal appropriately.
