One of the most rewarding parts of what we do is hearing our patients share their honest experience.
This patient completed his full-arch journey and admitted something many people don’t talk about:
“During the healing phase, I questioned it. The temporary teeth felt a little spongy, and I wondered if this was going to work.”
Those first teeth are made from a lightweight PMMA material by design. During the first 4 months, your implants are bonding to your jawbone in a process called osseointegration. Keeping the temporary bridge lighter helps reduce unnecessary forces on the implants while they heal, giving them the best opportunity for long-term success.
Once healing is complete, we replace those temporaries with your custom permanent zirconia teeth—crafted for exceptional strength, stability, function, and aesthetics.
His words after receiving his finals said it all:
“These feel like my real teeth. I can eat anything.”
Sometimes the healing phase requires trust in the process. But there’s a reason we don’t rush to the permanent restoration—because our goal isn’t just to give you teeth quickly... it’s to give you teeth that will last.
At Creekside Oral Surgery & Dental Implants, every step of your journey is carefully planned to maximize long-term success, function, and confidence.
✨ Trust the process. The finish line is worth it.
