A removable tooth cap defines a cavity for receiving a real tooth as well as material for removably attaching the tooth cap to the real tooth. The tooth cap has a front side and a back side which form a tip at the distal or free end of the tooth cap. The back side has a length which is less than ⅔ of the overall length of said tooth cap. The back side further defines a hole for receiving the material so that said material anchors or locks to the tooth cap when the material hardens.
