It was around that time that people started trying new materials, such as ivory, which lasted much longer. In fact, 3hippo and elephant ivory are what Washington’s dentures were really made of, not wood! Nowadays, false teeth are made of porcelain or resin, depending on the situation. These are much and more durable .

Modern Denture Types
Your individual situation will determine the type of denture that would work best for you. Obviously, someone who still has some of their natural teeth won’t use the same type as someone with no natural teeth left. So what are the different types?

Partial dentures are for people who still have some healthy natural teeth. The new teeth fill the gaps so the natural teeth don’t start to shift and cause new oral problems. They are often made of acrylic resin, which won’t wear down the natural teeth like porcelain will, but won't last as long.
dentures, meaning -removable dentures, come in a few different varieties. There are implants, which are placed into the jaw bone and fuse over time to mimic the old root; bridges, which fill gaps by being cemented to the teeth on either side of the whole; and implant-supported dentures, which use implants as anchors for dentures.
