dental plates
Removable artificial teeth
Dental plates are removable prosthetic devices that replace missing teeth, essentially synonymous with dentures.
The term emphasizes the plate-like base that sits against the gums and palate: She soaks her dental plates overnight.
Full dental plates replace all teeth in an arch; partial plates fill gaps while anchoring to remaining natural teeth.
