You can get a flipper for just the front tooth. It's mostly just for looks, and hard to tell it's not the real thing. You just can't bite down with it like for an apple, but you can with soft foods, I think. DH has two of them. One is kind of tight and really, really hard to get out, but he got a second one that fits in perfectly (although with a big sneeze, it kinda pops out....lol).

Anyway, his dentist made it for him, so just check with yours and see if he will make it for you there, or send you to someone else nearby.
