Flippers, also known as temporary partial dentures, are designed to replace missing teeth for a short period of time. They are typically made from acrylic and fit along the roof of the mouth or gum area, holding artificial teeth in place to restore your smile.
They are often recommended after a tooth extraction or sudden tooth loss, helping prevent surrounding teeth from shifting while maintaining appearance and basic function until a permanent solution is ready.

Understanding Flippers
Temporary Tooth Replacement
Flippers are commonly used when a patient needs a quick and temporary solution after losing a tooth. They are ideal during healing periods or while waiting for treatments such as implants, bridges, or permanent dentures.
Although they help maintain appearance and function, flippers are not intended for long-term use. They provide a practical way to avoid gaps in your smile while planning your next step in treatment.
- Used after tooth extractions or injury
- Ideal during healing or transition periods
- Helps maintain smile aesthetics
- Temporary solution before permanent treatment

Our Denture Treatments
Your happiness matters!
The process begins with a consultation where we assess your needs and determine if a flipper is the right temporary solution. Impressions are taken to create a lightweight denture that fits comfortably and restores your smile quickly.
Once your flipper is ready, it is placed and adjusted for comfort. Because it is a temporary solution, follow-up care may be recommended as you transition to a more permanent option.
- Initial consultation and evaluation
- Impressions for custom fit
- Quick denture placement
- Follow-up care and adjustments
Flippers should be cleaned daily using denture-safe products and handled carefully to avoid damage. Since they are lightweight and temporary, proper care helps maintain comfort and function during use.

What are flipper dentures?
Flipper dentures are temporary partial dentures used to replace one or more missing teeth. They are typically made from lightweight acrylic and are designed to be worn during short-term situations, such as after a tooth extraction or while waiting for a permanent dental solution.
How long can I wear a flipper denture?
Flippers are intended for short-term use and are not designed to be a permanent solution. Most patients wear them during the healing period after tooth loss or while preparing for a long-term treatment such as implants or permanent dentures.
Are flippers comfortable to wear?
Flippers are lightweight and designed for temporary comfort, but they may feel different compared to permanent dentures. Some patients may require minor adjustments to improve fit and stability, especially as their mouth changes during healing.
How do I take care of my flipper denture?
Flippers should be cleaned daily using denture-safe cleaning products and handled carefully to avoid damage. They should be removed when not in use and stored properly. Regular check-ups help ensure they continue to fit comfortably during use.
Can I eat normally with a flipper?
Flippers allow you to eat soft foods and maintain basic function, but they are not as strong or stable as permanent dentures. It is recommended to avoid hard or sticky foods to prevent damage and ensure the flipper remains comfortable and functional.
