A removable dental prosthesis is a type of prosthetic device used to replace one or several missing teeth. This prosthesis can be taken out and reinserted in the mouth by the patient. It is typically composed of an acrylic base that fits over the gums and contains the artificial teeth needed to fill the spaces left by the missing teeth.

There are two main types of removable dental prosthesis: removable partial dentures, which replace only some teeth in an arch, and removable complete dentures, also known as false teeth, which replace all the teeth in a dental arch.

These prostheses are a more affordable option compared to fixed prosthetics such as dental implants or bridges and can be an effective solution for those who are not candidates for implants or who desire a more cost-effective option. However, they may require some adaptation time and may need periodic adjustments to maintain a comfortable and proper fit in the mouth.
