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 or a small number of missing teeth. It is often provided as a temporary solution following tooth loss or extraction, or when a longer term treatment plan is still being prepared. Flippers help maintain a natural appearance, provide basic function, and support tooth spacing during transitional care.
Flippers are constructed with a lightweight acrylic base and custom matched artificial teeth designed to blend with natural teeth. Their simple design allows for easy placement and removal, making them a convenient option during healing or short term cosmetic needs.

Who Can Benefit From Flippers Dentures
Temporary Tooth Replacement Options
Flippers are well suited for patients who need a simple and temporary replacement after losing one or a few teeth. They are commonly used during healing periods before placing a partial denture, implant, or other long term treatment. Patients who want to avoid visible gaps or prefer a lightweight interim option often find flippers helpful.
They are also an appropriate choice for individuals undergoing phased treatment plans where a permanent solution cannot be placed immediately.
