Temporary Crowns Restore Patient’s Smile in Just One Day with an Immediate Smile Makeover

Posted on November 28, 2023 by Dr. Gerald Marlin
A patient from Potomac, Maryland, came to Elite Prosthetic Dentistry with the chief complaint of pain from her failing dental implant and its impact on her appearance.
Her dental implant looked artificial in her mouth and was impacting her smile. She had been very unhappy with her unsightly smile line and was becoming increasingly uncomfortable with her appearance, which affected her confidence.
Our expert team at Elite Prosthetic Dentistry was able to transform this patient’s smile in a single day. In just one procedure, we removed all the patient’s old dental crowns and restorations, repaired her implant with a bone graft, and inserted a hand-crafted temporary splint custom-made for her smile in our private, in-house lab.
The patient’s custom temporary crown allowed her to have an immediate smile makeover while she waited for her permanent ones. Once the permanent restorations were complete, this patient had a natural-looking smile she was proud to show off.
Through this commitment, Dr. Marlin provides his patients with long-lasting (35 years vs. the national average of 7-10 years) aesthetic restorations so that they have virtually no future problems.
As such, he is a leading specialist in dental implants, cosmetic dentistry, sedation dentistry , and restorative dentistry in the Bethesda–Chevy Chase, Northern Virginia, and Washington DC Metro Area. He has inserted and restored over 3,600 dental implants.
