ABSTRACT:
Custom teeth, comprising molded acrylic, porcelain, ABS, or nylon artificial teeth, and an impression compound. Each anatomically disproportionate artificial tooth is molded in a predetermined shape and has an interior cavity. A user applies denture reliner material to the interior cavity and positions the artificial tooth on a existing human tooth while the liner cures and hardens. The custom teeth may then be removed and reused. The anatomically disproportionate teeth are colored, shaped, and polished to provide lifelike realism. Users can achieve a custom fit in about five minutes. One typical use is for cosmetic enhancement, such as vampire fangs. An alternate embodiment includes an artificial gum assembly with or without teeth installed and a resilient liner. The artificial tooth assembly is molded in a predetermined shape and has an internal cavity. Denture liner material is applied to the interior cavity and the artificial gum/tooth assembly is positioned on existing human teeth while the liner cures and hardens. The artificial tooth assembly may then be removed and reused.
