Can you get a fake tooth after your real one was pulled out?!
Question:
Can you get a fake tooth after your real one was pulled out?
My friend had to get her back tooth on her right side pulled out today and it really bother's her. Can she get a replacement of a tooth? Of course, fake. lol. Thank you!
Answers:
Yes, she can.
There are 3 kinds of prosthesis. (A prosthesis medical term for a replacement part)
A removable partial denture - "partial"
A fixed partial denture - "bridge"
An implant
A temperory solution would be a removable partial denture made entirely of plastic - this is called a "flipper". I would suggest that you visit a prosthodontist near you or for a cheaper fix go to the student dental clinic in a dental school.
