A dental âflipperâ is a temporary denture. It is typically used to fill in the gap in your smile while youâre waiting for dental implants, a dental bridge, or partial permanent dentures. But since flippers are the most affordable dental restoration option, sometimes people choose to use their flipper for years.
What are flipper teeth? As mentioned on the previous page, a dental professional will pre-fit you for flippers before extracting your teeth if possible, so you can put them in right after the procedure. Initially, you'll be adjusting to the flipper teeth, so you should eat a soft diet for the first week you have them. Keep them in your mouth for the first 24 hours after tooth removal to aid healing, then take them out, clean them and immediately put them back in. After that, you can remove your flipper teeth nightly for cleaning. Flippers are intended to be temporary, but some people wear them indefinitely. Doing so requires regular care and plenty of caution, though, since they are not known for being sturdy.
