Missing my Top Front tooth, how do i rock this look?

HELP!

Hi!! I don't know if this is the right place to post this, but when i googled "how do i rock a missing front tooth reddit" a similar post from 2yrs ago and decided this is probably the best place to ask and I'm sorry if it's not.

I'm a 22F and i'm missing my front right tooth from a gum infection. I've had this tooth missing for 6 months already but have made it by with my temporary fake tooth / flipper. It doesn't fit well and I have been using denture glue to keep it in place longer. As of last week, my dentist put the screw for my implant in but no permanent tooth yet. He adjusted the flipper to fit better and it does, but it still falls out and maybe it's just too soon after getting the screw in but I can't stand the sensation of my flipper being in my mouth. It is just overstimulating and uncomfortable. it's also just pointless if it just falls out without denture glue and i don't want to use that until my follow up appointment when they tell me i'm all good.

Basically I'm tired of this flipper and i just want to say "fuck it" and just exist as someone with a missing tooth until i get the permanent one in September. Buuuuuuut I'm not the most confident person, but i can fake it till i make it.

What makes a missing front tooth look good? How do I rock this? How do i style this missing tooth like a purposeful accessory? is there makeup that would look good?

I have blue dyed hair and a few tattoos & piercings, I'm not scared to look different than the norm, i just want to look good while embracing my missing tooth, I'm also not opposed to playing up the "emo/alt hillbilly" look cause that would honestly fit me pretty well as a person.

I wear a mask at work cause I'm a cashier, so I'm not worried about work/professional settings, just personal day to day settings. I am aware i could also wear a mask in my day to day life but i want some more options and along with being tired of the flipper, I'm tired of being insecure about this. Loosing the tooth originally did so much to my self-image, i'm tired of the power that this holds over me.

How do I rock a missing front tooth?

TL;DR- I'm(22F) missing my front tooth and I want to style/dress in a way that would make it look good so i can instill some "fake it till you make it" confidence in me until i can get my permanent fake tooth in September
