5-yr-old with trouble saying/th/ /s/ /g/ etc

My 5 year has knocked his 3rd front tooth out for the 3rd consecutive year (boys will be boys). I am homeschooling and really have been working on the sounds of each letter with him. I am stuck on a few letters and blends. We have surprisingly mastered /r/ by "growling". It was fun. He can say /l/ but slips into /w/ a LOT still. I also might mention that he has a lisp. He can't say /th/ and /s/. I was wondering if we need to get fake teeth to help him form the letters right, or if you have a good program i can do at home with him. What ever tips you can give me would be greatly appreciated. I am so hungry for information to help him.
