What are dentures?

Natural teeth replacements
Dental implants
False teeth
Bridges in dentistry

The correct answer is: False teeth

Dentures are commonly referred to as false teeth. They are removable prosthetic devices designed to replace missing teeth and restore the functionality and aesthetics of one's smile. Made from materials such as acrylic or metal, dentures can be complete (replacing all teeth in an arch) or partial (replacing some missing teeth while preserving others). The term "false teeth" is a straightforward descriptor that emphasizes their function as substitutes for natural teeth. Natural teeth replacements generally refer to various prosthetic options but do not encompass the full scope of what dentures provide. Dental implants are another type of tooth replacement, but they are surgically placed into the jawbone and often considered a more permanent solution compared to removable dentures. Bridges in dentistry involve anchoring artificial teeth to adjacent natural teeth but differ from dentures in that they are fixed rather than removable. Therefore, the most accurate term specifically describing dentures is "false teeth."
