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.

This was a great experience overall, I was very happy with my partial !
Fits perfectly actually better than my current one
Very pleased. I keep it clean and moist. I also soak it in 105 degrees water before inserting as this helps make a perfect bond.
The Custom-Made Hyrid Nightguard I received was great, but I ordered 2 Nightguards and received only 1. I paid $360 for2 but got 1. This looks like a ripoff or incompetence.
My replacement straps arrived quickly. Glad to find a way to buy these online.
Very excellent professional job good fit very comfortable. I was totally impressed with the work done on my lower partial and just given the few teeth I had to work with and the impression that I sent in the technician did fantastic job. Thank you so much.
Fits perfectly. I can hardly tell it’s in there thank you.
I'm so happy with my purchase! It was such a simple process from beginning to end. I appreciated the convenience of being able to do everything from home. My retainers are a perfect fit! Great Job DLD!!!
Easy to use, looks beautiful & natural. Easy ordering process. Will definitely recommend to others.
Fast, efficient, perfect match, and durable. Completely worth the money.
Great job the color was off but they fit fine
I appreciate how thin yet protective my custom mouthguard is. Great design
So comfortable to wear all day.
I am happy with the product, feels like the one from my dentist.
I bought this as a birthday present for my 84 year old mother. She was literally crying when she looked in the mirror.
The flexible partial is really comfortable. I forget I'm wearing it.
The Nesbit partial is a smile changer!
