A dental plate is a removable appliance that holds artificial teeth in place. It's similar to a denture but can refer specifically to the base that supports the teeth. Think of it as the foundation for your fake teeth. Unlike implants, a dental plate can be easily removed for cleaning. Dental plates can be made of acrylic or metal. They restore your ability to chew and speak properly. It's like a puzzle piece filling the gaps in your smile.
