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.

Absolutly wonderful! I have not smiled this big for years since I lost two teeth! Thank you for the smile I have now!
I got my Harley retainers and the whole process was fast, easy, and super smooth! Everything was well-organized from start to finish, and I felt comfortable the entire time. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a hassle-free experience.
There is no better company in the world they have gone above a beyond for me
I could not afford such a high cost from my dental office and found DLD this has been the best experience I love my smile and would not hesitate purchasing from DLD again….THANK YOU!!!
I wished I had known about this before I paid out all that money for the upper denture. They fit perfectly!
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.
This brush was exactly what I was looking for.
Got my nesbit flexible partial today and I am blown away..the quality and attention to detail could not be better
I would highly recommend DLD I am forever grateful
I wear these for jiu jitsu and have already bought 3 sets. Highly recommended
I was so happy to find this company. Got my flipper in about 3 weeks as expected.
This is so much better than the metal partial i used to wear.
My implant failed and did not have many more options until I found the Nesbit.
I was not sure about ordering online but gave it a shot. So glad I did, thank you.
This company has been a pleasure to do business with. I will reccomend my friends and family if they are ever in need of the service.
