Yes, they will put temporaries on. And the good part is, NO ONE WILL KNOW THE DIFFERENCE!
Reply:I just came from a consultation regarding implants yesterday. I was not told anything about temps. Mine are not in front where you could see them so maybe that is the difference. They made it seem that it has to heal awhile so that is why nothing would be there. The whole description gave me the Hebe jeebes, not to mention the cost. I think I am going to go for a bridge or something like that.
