porcelain teeth
Fired clay chompers
Porcelain teeth are dental prosthetics—crowns, veneers, or dentures—made from ceramic material that mimics the translucency and color of natural teeth.
The phrase also describes teeth that appear unnaturally perfect or bright white: Her porcelain teeth suggested expensive cosmetic work.
Someone with a porcelain smile has flawless-looking teeth, though the term can imply artificiality.
