Yes, she can.
There are 3 kinds of prosthesis. (A prosthesis medical term for a replacement part)
A removable partial denture - "partial"
A fixed partial denture - "bridge"
An implant
A temperory solution would be a removable partial denture made entirely of plastic - this is called a "flipper". I would suggest that you visit a prosthodontist near you or for a cheaper fix go to the student dental clinic in a dental school.
To find a Prosthodontist near you go to the website: www.prosthodontics.org

HELLO,
WHEN A TOOTH IS EXTRACTED THERE ARE SEVERAL OPTIONS TO REPLACE IT.
THE BEST IS WITH AN IMPLANT. HERE THE LOWER JAWBONE HAS A SCREW DRILLED INTO IT TO BE FOLLOWED BY PUTTING ON A CROWN. THIS IS TIME CONSUMING AND EXPENSIVE.
THE OTHER WAY IS TO HAVE A FALSE TOOTH ATTACHED TO THE TEETH NEXT TO THE ONE PULLED. THIS IS CALLED A BRIDGE AND WHILE IT'S NOT INEXPENSIVE IT IS MUCH MORE REASONABLE THAN THE IMPLANT IN COST, AND CAN BE STARTED AND FINISHED IN JUST A FEW VISITS.
THERE ARE OTHER METHODS TO REPLACE THE MISSING TOOTH AND THERE ARE DIFFERENT PRICES AND MEANS TO DO THEM.
IT SHOULD BE DISCUSSED WITH THE DENTIST.

There are two solutions to this problem, one is a bridge (fits like a set of dentures that will allow her the feeling of a tooth there. the other is quite a bit more expensive and painful and that is to have a "post" installed, wherenby the dentist drills into your jaw and screws in ametal post, later attaching the tooth that post.

Yes, they can make a bridge or you can have a tooth screwed into your gums...but that is a painful and expensive surgery and there is a chance of rejection.

I guess the inquirer may not have been specific enough for all those implant suggestions---I have not gotten one and it is not because of the money or the need----I want a "fake tooth" meaning one to stick in for photo purposes and not for eating---I am going to guess that is what was meant here.

I busted a chunk out of one of my front teeth when I was younger and they grafted a partial piece onto it, It's still there & it looks like the rest of my teeth.

Yes, a bridge or an implant.
