Flippers in Abbotsford
Light, Temporary Tooth Replacement for Single or Small Gaps
What Are Flippers
Temporary Removable Dentures for One or More Missing Teeth
A flipper is a removable acrylic appliance designed to fill small gaps created by missing teeth. It is commonly used as an interim solution when a tooth has been recently lost, extracted, or damaged. Flippers help maintain appearance, support basic function and prevent nearby teeth from shifting while longer term treatment is planned.
They are made using a lightweight acrylic base and custom shaped artificial teeth that match the colour and size of your natural teeth. Flippers are easy to insert, remove and adjust, which makes them a convenient temporary option for both short term healing and cosmetic needs.

Who Needs Flippers
Patients Seeking a Temporary and Affordable Tooth Replacement
Flippers are ideal for patients who need a quick and temporary solution after losing or extracting one or a few teeth. They are commonly recommended during healing periods before receiving a partial denture, implant or other restorative treatment. Patients who want to avoid visible gaps in their smile or who require a lightweight option during short term treatment often benefit from flippers.
Flippers are also a practical choice for individuals undergoing staged dental treatment plans where a permanent treatment cannot be placed immediately.
