PMMA Crown

A PMMA crown is a high-quality temporary dental restoration made from Polymethyl Methacrylate, a durable, tooth-colored acrylic resin, used while waiting for permanent crowns, offering good aesthetics, strength (especially CAD/CAM milled ones), and biocompatibility for longer-term provisional use in complex treatments like orthodontics.

Quick Answers for Confident Smiles.

What is a PMMA crown?

A PMMA crown is a dental crown made from Polymethyl Methacrylate, a high-quality acrylic material. It is commonly used as a temporary or provisional crown during dental treatments.

When is a PMMA crown recommended?

PMMA crowns are usually recommended as temporary crowns while waiting for a permanent crown, during implant healing, or for short-term aesthetic and functional needs.

How long does a PMMA crown last?

PMMA crowns are designed for short- to medium-term use, typically lasting a few weeks to several months, depending on oral habits and care.

Does a PMMA crown look natural?

Yes. PMMA crowns provide good aesthetics and closely resemble natural teeth, making them suitable for visible areas during temporary restoration.

How should I care for a PMMA crown?

Maintain good oral hygiene, avoid hard or sticky foods, and follow your dentist’s instructions. Since PMMA crowns are not as strong as permanent crowns, gentle care is important.
