Subject: RE: Take My Bridgework Back to Mother
You are correct, Elizabeth; a set of dentures or false teeth is different from a bridge. I was speaking of the general meaning, to give some context for the song. There's also this definition of denture:
denture n. A partial or complete set of artificial teeth for either the upper or lower jaw.
