“Can you get a fake tooth after an extraction?”

Yes. You can get a fake acrylic tooth connected to a flipper which is similar to a retainer with no wire but a tooth connected. Also you can get a bridge or implant. Implants are the best to replace a tooth because they last the longest, usually the rest of your life, fix the missing tooth without stopping the enamel off adjacent teeth, replace the root in addition to the crown you can see so it will be fixed in place and independent and hold the bone like a scaffold to help prevent the normal loss of bone from not replacing teeth. -Dr. Bishop

Yes, we actually make the new tooth before we extract the old one.

Yep. You can either get something removable to replace the extracted tooth or something permanent like a bridge or an implant.

As my father-in-law used to say: “enough time and money and you can do anything”. Every situation is different. Many times when a patient presents with an unsalable front tooth, we evaluate with 3-D x-ray to evaluate the bone around the bad tooth to see if there is enough bone for an implant. If so, and the patient is financially prepared, we work to carefully remove the bad tooth and immediately place an implant with a temporary crown on it. The temporary has to be created in such a way that it is totally out of occlusion and the patient is severely warned not to chew in that area. In posterior areas we rarely place temporary crowns, even on Situations where an immediate implant is placed.

Depending where the tooth is located, you can either do a fixed bridge, most commonly crowns on either side of the missing tooth with the false tooth attached in the middle, or an implant to which a crown (fake tooth) is then attached.
