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.

My partial is perfect! This is the second time I have ordered from Dental Lab Direct, and both times were excellent experiences. Great customer service to be sure; but mostly, the relief of having my partial fit perfectly and be so comfortable from the get go, is everything.
Thank you so much!
