Unless your dentist has taken impressions to make a partial or another word is flipper and that it is there waiting for you then the answer is no. You will be missing that tooth until something can be created through impressions to fill that spot.





The best alternative for you would be to get a tooth implant but they are more expensive. In some cases you can go to a dentist who can remove the tooth,put the implant in and place a tooth that day. But it takes preparation and finding the right one. I know I have immediate implants. I never went one day without teeth.





Just walking in to a dentist to have a tooth removed will leave you toothless in that spot.
Reply:You'll have a space at least for a while.


When the area stabilizes they can put in an implant.
Reply:Have you gone to another dentist for a 2nd opinion? The other teeth will shift. Did they tell you your options? It sounds as if you need a more helpful dentist.
Reply:My dentist did have a fake tooth for that day, but I had to take it out at night. Explain your fears. Try to have it done on a Friday when you won't be around people for a while, because the hole where the tooth was needs to heal and may have to have gauze on it for a while.


Hey, call the dental secretary, she probably has run into this problem many times.

Reply:If they have taken a mold of your teeth then maybe yes, but i think they might not want to put anything there until its healed, you need a week or so for it to heal and to also see that they've removed the tooth completely and that none of the root is left in their rotting. They may be able to put a small "bridge tooth" in its place that isnt permanent that will fill the place. It wont be attached to the gum, but to the tooth beside it. (i had one of those for about 2 weeks, but my dentist charged me quite a hefty bll for it.) also he wont be able to give you a tooth unless youv had a mold taken a week before so it gives them time to make a tooth. I hope this helps :-) and i hope the tooth doesnt hurt too much once its been removed! x
Reply:my sis had all her top teeth removed, and went to a few dentist.. the one she had do the work, made impressions of her teeth, and made dentures for her, before the teeth were removed. so the same day they came out, she had dentures...


not all dentist will do it that way..


she was lucky, but the healing process wasnot easy of course. but at least she had them....
Reply:yes. these can replace your missing tooth:( you can ask your dentist if you need it on the same day but u will compromise the fit of your dentures if your gums are not yet fully healed.)





a DENTAL BRIDGE- Dental bridges literally bridge the gap created by one or more missing teeth.





A bridge is made up of two crowns for the teeth on either side of the gap – these two anchoring teeth are called abutment teeth – and a false tooth/teeth in between. These false teeth are called pontics and can be made from gold, alloys, porcelain or a combination of these materials. Dental bridges are supported by natural teeth or implants.





DENTURE- denture is a removable replacement for missing teeth and surrounding tissues.
