Abstract
A dental prosthetic device () having a base () constructed of an inexpensive remoldable material, such as, for example, ethylene vinyl acetate, to allow for inexpensive and quick fitting and refitting to accommodate changes in dental structure (). Harder teeth-like structures () are associated with a mounting surface () of the base (), such as by overmolding the base () onto ends () of the structures (), so that, when the device () is placed over a dental arch () within a user's mouth, the teeth-like structures () facilitate biting and chewing in the manner of teeth.
