Temporary denture???? Cheap option

Gun Shy

I'm receiving dental treatment abroad and everything is going according to plan, a 3D X-ray showed up two cysts one quite large so had them removed. But now have to wait 4 weeks for gums to heal before I can fit a temporary denture. I'm going back in October to have the rest of the work finished off (I had a few implants) ordinarily they would have sent me home with a temporary bridge or denture but because of the cyst removal that wasn't possible.

Anyway my question
What is the cheapest option for a temporary denture in Ireland nothing fancy or permanent just something to cover up the 5 teeth missing in the front for three months or so and what would be the expected cost.

Thanks

If the implants are under the area where you want the denture, then be carefull, if excessive load is placed on the healing implant site, complications will occur and the dentist/technician who made the denture may get the blame. Best to have it made by the clinician who placed the implants, he/she will know what relief around the implant site is necessary and there will be no finger pointing later if complications do occur.

No implants under site of denture so just a solution for 3 months. Is there such a thing as a temporary plastic denture just for the time being?

Really the implant dentist needs to be happy with the temp whatever it may be, go them them for it and nobody else

Implants are on the lower jaw, my dentist said it was no problem to get a temporary in 4 weeks as it's only for the upper front teeth.
Won't be going back for final works till October so just want a temporary and a very rough idea of cost. Otherwise I'll go smileless for the few months.

So the site that the cyst was removed from is delicate enough to have to go without a temporary for some reason for months, but the dentist that removed the cysts is happy you go any old place to get a gum stripper?

it will be very concerning for me if a patient whom i have done implants go and do some cheap 'temporary' anywhere in the mouth , as the chap who will do the 'temporary' will have no clue about the implant site or the state of the mouth, even if the 'temporary' is not on top of the site , it can still alter the bite

Thanks, for the advice bit more clearer now, smileless until October then.

To put this in perspective, I have cysts removed for patients on a very regular basis, and under no circumstances would I leave a patient with the resources for dental implants without front teeth, for even one minute during treatment. My patients simply would not accept it, nor should they.

why would you be smileless, why didnt your implant dentist or your own dentist working with the implant offer you a temporary ?
