In front of chops is gold tooth (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

incisor

'tooth' is the definition.
(incisor is a kind of tooth)

'in front of chops is gold' is the wordplay.
'front of' says to take the initial letters.
'gold' becomes 'or' ('or' is the heraldic name for gold).
The initial letter of 'chops' is 'c'.
'in'+'c'+'is'+'or'='INCISOR'

(Other definitions for incisor that I've seen before include "companion could be Goofy" , "One takes a bite" , "Ivory perhaps" , "something with bite" , "cutter" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
