false tooth

Prosthetic dental piece

A false tooth is an artificial tooth replacing one that's missing or damaged.

The term usually refers to a single prosthetic tooth rather than a full set of dentures: The dentist fitted him with a false tooth after the accident.

False teeth, plural, typically means dentures.
