FLIPPER

Indications:

Flippers are used as a definitive or temporary restoration, to help prevent the migration of existing natural teeth while a permanent dental treatment is chosen as final solution; cast partial denture, bridge or crowns on implants.
Are generally used immediately as a temporary treatment solution, typically after the loss of one or just a few natural front teeth.
After an accident where the patient lost or broke one or more anterior teeth to the gum line, or after an extraction, a flipper is the quickest solution to improve the comfort and the aesthetics of the patient.

These are the most cost effective tooth replacement option dentists can give to the patients with anterior partial dentition.
They allow new teeth or clasps to be added, in case the patient is losing more teeth.

It is supported by the gums which can lead to bone loss, mobility and finally the loss of the existing teeth
They are bulky compared with cast partial dentures and for some, this may create discomfort.
