If you only have one or two missing teeth that aren’t immediately noticeable. You might be asking, “Do I really need to fix this?”
The answer is yes.
A missing tooth is not only aesthetically undesirable but it can make it more difficult to chew food.
A flipper tooth can serve as a great alternative to more extensive partial dentures when your missing tooth isn’t noticeable.
A flipper tooth is a form of removable partial dentures that sit in the gap of a single missing tooth. While it’s classified as a partial denture, most partial dentures on the market are meant to replace more than one tooth. A flipper tooth is smaller, less expensive and less cumbersome than more extensive partial dentures.
They often do not contain metal, connecting to surrounding teeth by a mold that matches the surrounding gum tissue. This can allow for significantly thinner amounts of acrylic used in the construction, which adds comfort. However, because less material is used, it can also be more fragile.
Cleaning and maintaining your flipper teeth should be done alongside normal dental cleaning and care. Each night, you should:
After cleaning your tooth, keep it moist at night by using a denture cleaning soak.
Wine, coffee, and similar liquids can stain your flipper tooth – you may want to avoid these while wearing your partial dentures.
It’s also important to avoid keeping your flipper tooth in hot environments, as these can warp your tooth and expedite your need for a replacement.
With proper maintenance, your flipper tooth can last years with an excellent fit.
The cost of a flipper tooth can vary widely depending on several factors, including the materials used, the geographic location of the dental practice, and the specific dentist or prosthodontist you visit. In general, flipper tooth is more affordable than other tooth replacement options like dental implants or fixed bridges.
With that said, the cost still ranges from around $600 to $1,000.
But when you buy direct from a trusted warehouse, they can cost as little as $400.

Ordered from DLD and a competitor and you blew them out of the water. They had me re doing impressions for 6 months! You guys needed only one. Your product fits perfectly and is front and back of teeth. Theirs is front face only. Life changing result. I can smile again!
Took longer than expected but worth the wait. The tooth fits perfectly, is very comfortable and looks like a real tooth. Very happy with it.
Easy to use. Seem to be good quality.
This is the second partial I received. The first one fit perfectly the second one fits a little snug but I'll get used to that. Everything was simple and easy to follow. I highly recommend it.
Received my order early and opened my package. Placed my partial in my mouth and it fit perfectly. Your lab techs are outstanding. I am so pleased and happy!!!!! I now the confidence to smile again.
If anyone is on the fence about doing this you need to just do it. You will be so pleased with your new smile. This is money well spent.
Thank you Dental Lab Direct and your entire staff!!!!!
Love, love, love my new DLD partial! Feels like my own teeth. Light weight and slightly adjustable. Great product.
Perfect, I couldn’t have asked for better. Thank you. A dentist wanted to charge me $10,000 for part of what you gave me.
Dental direct made it extremely easy for me to get the retainer replacement that I needed. The instructions were easy to follow and it was a very simple process that i could do on my own time. The time to get the retainer back did take a few weeks, but this was the same duration that I was quoted at my local orthodontist who wanted to charge me double to get the exact same retainer but just have them do the work. 10/10 I would use dental direct again.
I love them so much! They were perfect. I can’t even feel them
Very convenient not having to mix and pack your own trays. Although, I personally preferred the self mix putty, and trays. The process to activate the no stress trays involves boiling them. So the putty is quite hot when taking the impressions.
Had a bad experience with another company but Dental Direct delivered
The delivery took a little longer than expected but well worth the wait.
The fit is perfect right out of the box.
The Nesbit partial is a smile changer!
I feel great when I put onmy snap on venners
