“Can you get a partial denture for one tooth?”
I am a 62 year old male. I want to know if you can get a partial denture for one tooth?

You need an exam by a dentist to answer your question.
You can, but it will likely not work or help. The single tooth would be lost quickly from the damage of the partial and then you will have to buy another denture.

Yes, You can.
Yes, you can get a partial denture for one tooth. Often, it's a missing front tooth. We have a nickname for those inexpensive 1-tooth partial dentures: "flipper".
You can get a partial denture for nearly as many teeth as you like. However, a partial denture for one tooth is a bit much. There is a lot of hardware involved with making a partial denture and they work best when they are replacing multiple teeth. You would be much better off with an implant or a fixed bridge to replace one tooth.
Yes, all-acrylic single-tooth partials work pretty well!!
Sure, small partials are available, although a single implant is the better option.
