Artificial teeth are a type of dental prosthesis used to replace missing teeth. IMPLANTS are a permanent solution, where a titanium post is surgically implanted into the jawbone and a crown is placed on top. DENTURES are a removable solution, where a plastic base is fitted to the gums and artificial teeth are attached. Both IMPLANTS and DENTURES can be made from a variety of materials, including porcelain, acrylic, and metal.
