I have a missing tooth and want to fix it. Can you have a denture for one tooth?

Yes
NOT advisable
YES! This is typically referred to as a 'Flipper'. They are not the best or gold standard for single tooth replacement but are an easy and economical way to fill the space of one missing tooth. Ideally you'd want an implant, resin bonded bridge or three unit bridge.
Yes. Usually called a flipper this is generally seen as a temporary solution but some people have them for an extended period.
Of course you can have a removable appliance for one tooth. It is called temporary partial denture or Stayplate partial, there is one more choice which we call transitional smile or snap on smile, in which acts as transition to get permanent teeth done!

Yes, we usually call it a flipper or transitional partial denture. They are not very durable which is why we call them transitional. I would recommend an implant for a single tooth replacement if possible.
