features:
Flippers are an affordable and convenient way to cover the gaps created from the loss of natural teeth. The teeth come in a variety of shades to took as natural as possible with the patient’s smile.
We aim to make our flippers blend seamlessly in the mouth.
process:
Flippers are designed digitally by our removable technicians. Once the design is complete they are either milled or 3D printed in-house. The teeth are then bonded to the base, where the details are refined and the flipper polished.
ideal applications:
Flippers are a great option for patients who:
- have a missing tooth or teeth, and wish to prevent the surrounding teeth from shifting
- choose to have a compromised tooth pulled rather than have a crown placed
- can not afford the cost of an implant or crown
- need an immediate fix rather than the long time frame associated with implants
