artificial teeth
Manufactured dental replacements
Artificial teeth are prosthetic replacements for natural teeth—dentures, implants, or individual crowns.
The phrase emphasizes that the teeth are manufactured rather than grown: The detective noticed the victim's artificial teeth scattered near the body.
In casual speech, people more often say false teeth or dentures.
