Where to Get Natural-Looking Temporary Teeth for Full-Mouth Implants

Chief Director Lee Jang-uk

Hello.

A place that does its best

for a healthy smile

This is Etoile de Seoul Dental Clinic.

Over the past 20 years, I have met countless people through this work, but today I want to share the stories of those who have stayed especially deep in my heart. Every time I see people who had despaired after losing their teeth regain bright smiles, I am reminded once again why I chose this work.

Today, I will tell you the real stories of people who started a new chapter in life through the full-mouth implant temporary teeth process. I hope this can offer a small bit of hope to anyone who may be facing similar concerns right now.

We are responsible for your dental health.

"First Story: A Grandfather’s Tears and His Grandson’s Question"

Let me share the story of one patient I met. He was Mr. Kim Chan-su, in his mid-60s, and when he first came in, he said through tears, "Doctor, I really can’t eat anything now. Even the full-mouth implant temporary teeth don’t fit properly, so I’m in pain every day."

He had received implant treatment elsewhere, but the temporary teeth kept moving and hurting, so he could not eat properly. He said it was heartbreaking to wake up every morning with pain in his mouth and to have to eat porridge alone while his family ate together.

What hurt him especially was when his grandson asked, "Grandpa, why are you the only one eating something different?" Hearing that, I felt my own heart sink as well.

His son was also worried about his father and carefully asked, "Our family is very concerned because it seems like Father is gradually losing strength. Can he receive proper treatment?"

A New Hope Begins to Grow

Then, starting 어느 day, things gradually began to change. As we planned treatment again with a full-arch implant, we newly made the full-mouth implant temporary teeth for him. It was a method that could restore the function of an entire set of teeth with only 4 to 6 implants.

On the day he first wore the new temporary teeth, he carefully tried a piece of bread, then widened his eyes and said, "Huh? It doesn’t hurt!" At that moment, the treatment room became completely quiet.

When he returned a month later, he looked noticeably different. He said, "Doctor, yesterday I grilled meat with my family. It had been so long since I shared the same food with my grandson, and he was so happy." Then he smiled brightly and told me, "I finally feel like a real grandfather now."

Amazing Recovery: Regaining Function Close to Natural Teeth

Three months later, after the prosthesis was placed, he had changed remarkably. Regaining chewing ability close to that of natural teeth, he said, "Now I can eat most foods. I didn’t know the food my wife makes was this delicious."

Second Story: A Worker Regains Confidence

Another patient was a woman in her late 50s, and she also had similar concerns. She said that because the full-mouth implant temporary teeth did not fit properly, work had become difficult and she had lost confidence when talking with other people.

But after receiving treatment with a full-arch implant, she told me, "Now I can speak confidently during meetings. More than anything, I didn’t know how happy it could be just to smile."

The essence of treatment,

recovering life, not just teeth

What I feel while seeing these patients is that what they are looking for is not simply teeth. It is the ordinary daily life of eating with family, the confidence to smile freely, and hope.

Many people struggle during the full-mouth implant temporary teeth stage, and this period is very important. If the temporary teeth do not fit well, the prosthesis cannot turn out well either. That is why, from the temporary teeth fabrication stage, we carefully consider the patient’s facial shape, gum condition, and lifestyle pattern when making them.

The special advantages of full-arch implants

The advantage of full-arch implants is that temporary prosthetics can be placed on the same day. From the day you receive the procedure, you do not have to go without teeth. Of course, you should avoid hard foods at first, but returning to daily life is possible right away.

Third Story: A Grandmother in Her 70s Takes on a New Challenge

There was another patient, a grandmother in her early 70s. She asked with concern, "Doctor, is it okay for me to receive this kind of treatment at my age?" But age was not a problem at all. In fact, it is a treatment method that is even more suitable for people who find it difficult to come in repeatedly.

Six months after treatment, she returned and said brightly, "I think I’ll be able to travel with my friends now. Without worrying about food." At that moment, I also felt deeply moved.

Answers to Frequently Asked Questions

Sometimes I get questions like this: "Doctor, will I really get better?" I have heard this concern many times. Whenever that happens, I say this: "Most of the people I have met so far were extremely satisfied with their treatment results. In fact, they often say they wish they had done it sooner."

I also want to say this to those who are worried about the full-mouth implant temporary teeth process. It may feel awkward at first, but going through this process is necessary to achieve a better result. It is like how the foundation work is important when building a house.

And many people worry, "Will it hurt a lot?" With a non-incision method using 3D navigation, pain can be reduced. There may be some discomfort right afterward, but it can be managed with ordinary pain relievers.

The true reward gained through treatment

The moment I feel most rewarded in this work is when the people who visited us find their smiles again. Those who came in looking discouraged return after treatment as completely different people. Their eyes really change.

Not long ago, a patient who had received treatment showed me a family photo and said, "Thanks to you, I can smile this brightly now." I can’t tell you how happy the family was. Her son said, "It’s been a long time since Father looked this bright."

Never lose hope: Courage for a new beginning

Among those reading this, there may be people facing similar concerns. If you are currently unable to eat properly because of your teeth, or if meeting others feels burdensome, please do not give up hope.

Even if the full-mouth implant temporary teeth process feels frightening, going through it can allow you to look forward to a better tomorrow. That has been true for everyone I have met so far. They came in with worry and fear, but in the end, they left with gratitude and joy.

Now, they say they are dreaming again. Dreams of eating delicious food freely, of traveling with family, and of having pleasant conversations with friends. I sincerely hope that you too can dream those dreams again.
