Advanced Denture Options Using Modern Technology
Understanding Flippers Dentures
Lightweight Removable Options for Short Term Use
A flipper denture is a removable acrylic appliance used to replace one tooth, or a small number of missing teeth. It is often provided as a temporary option after tooth loss or extraction, or while a longer-term denture treatment plan is being prepared. Flippers help maintain a natural appearance, support basic day-to-day function, and help preserve spacing during transitional care.
Flippers are made with a lightweight acrylic base and custom-matched artificial teeth designed to blend with surrounding teeth. Their simple design allows for easy placement and removal, making them a convenient option during healing or short-term esthetic needs.
Benefits of Flippers Dentures

Lightweight and Easy to Wear
Their acrylic design is typically comfortable and simple to manage throughout the day.

Who Flipper Dentures May Suit
Temporary Tooth Replacement Options
Flippers may be a good choice for patients who want a simple, temporary replacement after losing one or a few teeth. They are often used during healing before placing a partial denture, implant, or other long-term treatment. Patients who want to avoid visible gaps, or who prefer a lightweight interim option, often find flippers helpful.
They can also support phased treatment plans where a permanent solution cannot be placed immediately.
