Removable Options to Restore Your Smile
Dental Flippers
A dental flipper is a lightweight, removable appliance that temporarily replaces a missing tooth while you wait for a permanent solution like an implant. Flippers are easy to wear, simple to clean, and help maintain your smile, speech, and confidence during the healing process.
Types of flippers we offer:
- Retainer-Style Flipper: Looks like an orthodontic retainer with one or more teeth.
- Essix Retainer: A clear, aligner-style tray with built-in teeth for a discreet look.
If you need a temporary tooth replacement in Berkeley, Dr. Yip will help you choose the best option.
Full & Partial Dentures
Dentures are custom, removable appliances that replace missing teeth and restore function and appearance.
Full Dentures
- Conventional: Made after the gums heal for the most stable long-term fit.
- Immediate: Placed the same day teeth are removed, with follow-up adjustments as you heal.
Partial Dentures
Ideal if you still have healthy natural teeth. They fill gaps and help prevent shifting, and they’re removable for easy cleaning.
Adjusting to Dentures
Dentures take time to get used to, but most patients adapt well with practice. Speaking and chewing improve as your mouth adjusts.
