Imako Tooth Tinted Plastic - Natural Color - Temporary Tooth - Made in USA

This stuff is super easy to use, and worked perfectly for me. As has already been said, one piece is much larger than you need. I just put it in a cup of boiled water, waited a minute, fished it out with a spoon and pulled off what I thought I needed. I fit it into the gap between my teeth, and it easily molded with my fingers. It was a bit small so i removed it, and It's easy to add a little back to the ball you're using, using the hot water to soften the pieces first. The material becomes clear and very soft, and super moldable. I tried a couple of times to get what I wanted, but it was so stress free that I never once felt like I was doing something wrong. Once I had a look I liked, I left it in and it cooled and hardened to the whiter color. If feels secure and looks good. I'm super happy. Amending this, and puttng a warning in the title. I'm not changing the stars -- it IS easy to use, and it's very effective, in my particular case. I have a missing tooth in the back of my mouth, one of my forward molars, and it's visible when I talk or smile. So, to have that filled in has been a complete game changer. Remarkably, it stayed in place for a couple of weeks, with no shifting at all. BUT -- it did become very yellow over time, only a few shades lighter than the stars on this review. For me, it was still a help, because it filled a gap that, once filled, made things look normal. But if this had been in the front, it would have needed to be changed far sooner than it was. And that's the warning part -- when I wanted to change it, I couldn't get it out. When I put it in, it was malleable and I molded it to a good shape, not realizing that the shape created absolutely trapped it in place. It had served without budging for a couple of weeks -- but once I wanted it out, it's been a 3 day effort to get this thing out. Wiggle, wiggle, shift, pry, pull -- being supremely careful to not damage the bordering natural teeth. It was STUCK, which was why it never seemed unstable (which I liked, and still do appreciate). Finally today, it had gotten somewhat shifty, but simply would not come out, so I started syringing very hot water on it, ( a bit of an ordeal and left my mouth a little burned, like hot tea would), and finally pried it loose. No damage done -- but I'll be a lot more careful with the replacement, to make sure I'm not creating a shape that would be impossible to remove. Hope that makes sense. End of story -- I'm still planning to replace it with a new piece that is not discolored, and I'm still happy with it -- but for some, the yellowing (more noticeable after about a week) and possibility that it might not easily remove would be a fair deal breaker.

TLDR: This stuff is far from a magic, perfect fix but can make a HUGE difference to help things look at least a little better. It can take a lot of practice and patience to figure out how to use it correctly. Sometimes you’ll need to reheat it to make it soft again a few times (or more) before you’ll get it right. My two front teeth are badly broken, but since they are luxury bones I have to do what I can to not want to kms from how self conscious it makes me feel. This stuff has been a real life saver. If your dental problems are as bad as mine, prepare to need a decent amount of time and patience to figure out using it. I boil hot water, place a strainer bowl in it, and set the product in there. After it sits long enough to get soft, lift the strainer to remove the water and you can easily grab the amount of softened material you need. Try to figure out the amount you need and the basic shape as fast as you can while beginning to apply it to the tooth. Then I use an old credit card, tweezers, and a flosser to get a better shape that will stay in. When it starts to harden up again, gently bite down to make sure it will set in a more natural feeling way. For my front teeth, I make sure there’s extra of the product behind my teeth, then gently bite down while also pressing against the part that shows on the front of my teeth as it cools to the point of no longer being moldible. This helps it to take a shape that will stay put and have the ability to be popped out and back into place. Sometime a I’ll also need to use the card to make sure the bottoms of the “teeth” are flat and in the right spot. Usually right after I make a new one, it’s strong enough to eat with. But eating with it in does wear it out faster and also discolors it, so I’ll usually take it out to eat. I also have a molar that’s very broken that I use this for as well. For that one I wrap the material all the way around the tooth. Definitely bite down as its hardening for a molar or it will be very uncomfortable to wear. The little cap that gets made is also easy to take off and pop back on as needed. Once I make a “tooth patch” it’ll last for a reallyyyy long time. Usually it’s too bright white colored at first to blend in with my natural tooth very well, but over time it becomes more dingey and matches better. Tea or coffee can darken the color more quickly. When being used to patch up teeth, it isn’t super convincing looking from up close. But it works really well for pictures and being on camera. I’ve also trained myself to speak without showing very much of my teeth, and it definitely passes on making things look sooo better than without.

100% this product is really really awesome thank you

I have a crown that fractured below the gumline and I've been waiting a while for the treatment to fix it. After a while piece of the crown went missing below the gumline and there was a visible, unsightly gap there. I originally looked for "synthetic gums" to try and fill it in, which didn't work out at all and the color looked like bubble gum. I decided to try this for $10 seemed like not much to lose. Well let me just say, it's perfect for this type of repair. It's kind of crazy just how soft it gets in warm water, and I found it very easy to handle. I was able to extend the top/front of my crown by about 2mm. The technique I used was: -heat up water on the stove and put into a small glass container -drop the little plastic cube into the water and let it sit. it changes to a lighter color when it's soft -put some of the material into the gap and shape it. it hardens quickly, but just get it close enough. -then after it hardens, you can shape it some more by briefly dipping it back into the hot water. repeat this until your shape is pretty much how you want it. make sure you put some of the material into the cracks or around the post so it has something to grab. be patient and dont be afraid to start over by putting it back in the warm water. -I then put it into my mouth and shaped it just a little bit more, then let it harden for like 10 minutes -Being a bit of a perfectionist I gently removed some of the excess material with a rotary tool (dremel), but this wasn't really necessary. Something to note, the material is bright white when you take it out of the package but it actually changes color after you apply it. matches my crown literally perfectly. now the gap that was previously noticeable is completely blocked and it actually looks natural. this is a temporary fix but I'm actually very very happy with how it looks. Thank you!!

Fairly difficult to get perfect onto the tooth, but it helps keep food out of the horrifying hole in my tooth. One star. I cannot remove the plastic. I wanted a temporary filling, BUT I AM UNABLE TO GET IT OUT. Hey, update months later 09/26 today I went to the dentist so they could take it out, but they ended up telling me that the plastic is helping avoid worse tooth damage. So, back track to when I flipped to order this. I had a filling fell out ages ago, don't remember when, and I never got it fixed. However, same months ago (around when I ordered this) I was feeling weird about not being able to floss in between two specific teeth. So, I get better floss and do that...and part of my tooth chips away! I freaked out, because I didn't want to wait before going to the dentist again to fix it, I didn't have a place that would help me just yet. So basically, tooth chipped and I used this product. While, yes, I am having a VERY hard time removing it, it has also helped stop severe tooth decay. Anyways, I really want to cry now.

I purchased this Imako temporary tooth as an emergency and short-term solution, and it serves its purpose when you need something temporary. It is easy to use and helps fill the gap visually in situations where you may be waiting for a dental appointment. This product is not a permanent fix, but it can be helpful for unexpected situations, special events, work meetings, or social occasions where you want to feel more confident temporarily. The color looks fairly natural when applied correctly, and it provides a quick cosmetic solution. It’s important to follow the instructions carefully and understand that this is meant for temporary use only, not for eating hard foods or long-term wear. Overall, it’s a practical item to keep on hand for dental emergencies until you can see a professional.

The Pros: The product is great, works great and it looks great. The Cons: Way too expensive! The package is more expensive than the product. If they provided 10 to12 pieces , then the price would be somewhat justified. The Better Option: Get Thermoplastic Pellets 10 oz for $7 and you can make 75 to 100 teeth! Either way you go, unless your teeth and perfectly white, heat the water with instant coffee in it and drop the plastic in it. Let it soak for an hour or so. Remove it heat the water again, drop the material in the hot water. Remove it and shape it close to a tooth. Apply it from the back of the other teeth and shape it in place with most of the material behind the teeth and push it forward. Press the sides or the front to give it shape. And flatten the back. If you don’t flatten the back against the teeth you will not be able to talk right. Since the space of the missing tooth is probably not perfect, the temporary tooth will stay in place fairly well. I was even able to eat with it in place. To remove it, take a drink of hot water, as hot as you can stand without burning your mouth, until the temporary tooth soften and pull it out. I had to be without the tooth for over 3 weeks during the healing process and this helped tremendously cosmetically. Unless someone gets very very close they would be able to tell you have a missing tooth. I do not recommend wearing it at night or, while I did, that you eat with the temp tooth in. You can heat and reshape the tooth as much as you want with either material. The 4 stars is while the product works well the price is way too expensive.
