CIT Temporary
Lab-Fabricated Provisional Crowns & Bridges That Actually Fit

CIT Dental Lab’s provisional restorations the CIT Temporary are lab-fabricated PMMA provisional crowns and bridges for dental practices across the Eastern United States who understand that a well-made temporary is part of the treatment, not just a placeholder between appointments. A CIT Temporary is fabricated from your prepared model with precise marginal adaptation, proper contour for soft tissue health, and a professional esthetic finish your patients will actually feel good about between appointments. Free 2-way shipping. 8-day in-lab turnaround.

Why Lab Temporaries Outperform Chairside Fabrication

Chairside temporaries are functional but they’re often bulky, poorly fitting, and rough at the margins. A lab-fabricated provisional from CIT is adapted precisely to your prepared model using digital or analog techniques, processed from high-quality PMMA material, and finished to proper emergence profile, contour, and shade. For extended treatment windows, multi-unit provisionals, and any case where soft tissue conditioning or treatment planning requires a well-adapted temporary, CIT Temporaries pay clinical dividends at the final delivery appointment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Lab-made temporaries offer superior fit accuracy (adapted precisely to the prepared model), better material quality (processed PMMA is more durable and color-stable than chairside self-cure resins), and proper emergence profile and contour that support soft tissue health during the provisional period. For simple single-unit cases, chairside temporaries may be adequate. For implant temporaries, full-mouth rehab cases, and any situation where the provisional will be worn for weeks or months, a CIT lab-fabricated temporary is the clinical upgrade.
