false teeth

Removable oral prosthetics

False teeth are artificial replacements for natural teeth, typically a removable denture rather than permanent implants.

The term is informal and slightly old-fashioned: Grandpa took out his false teeth before bed.

More clinical terms include dentures or dental prosthetics.
