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.

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.
Y’all did such a wonderful job and put a beautiful smile on my face. I’ll tell you I recommend y’all to anyone and thank you so much. It fits perfect
Thank you very much for this you are a life saver

I have been wearing my retainers for 6 months and they feel just as good as when I first bought them.
I had a few questions and Joe answered everything very professionally.
This is my second purchase with DLD. I'm a lifelong customer.
I needed a minor adjustment so I send it back to be adjusted.Now I love it!
The teeth look so natural you can't even see the differeance in my mouth.
I was missing all 4 front teeth and my friend used this company so I thought let's give DLD a try. Got my 4 front teeth and confidence back, thanks!!
This was a way cheaper option compared to my denstist.
