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.

I am very pleased with my new Nesbit partials. The left side (upper) was a perfect fit. The upper right side “bite” was a little “high”, but I was able to adjust with little effort. Every new dental appliance, in my experience does take time to get used to. Working with DLD via emails and phone conversations was absolutely great!
I am very happy with my purchase it’s a game changer very comfortable and realistic looking
I’m very happy with the flexible partial denture. I’ll be ordering the lower half soon!
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!!!
A little difficult to get used to wearing but perfect fit and looks totally natural!
Finally upgraded from my old mouthguard from my dentist from years ago, and these are really something else!!
Amazing work and amazing product, customer service is so detailed and on point, I am truly truly impressed
The durability of easy dentures is so impressive. They've held up really well, and I've had them for a year now.
Absolutely happy and couldn't be happier with everything from service to shipping time and the product - THUMBS UP!
The staff is very educated about hteir products, I'm impressed with this company.
My flipper fit perfect right out of the box!
I bought this as a birthday present for my 84 year old mother. She was literally crying when she looked in the mirror.
I needed a product that is hypoallergenic. This was a perfect choice.
Brand new beautiful smile!
