No, she did not wear dentures. Dentures are removable and commonly plastic teeth with an acrylic base. The coroner's report states that she wore prosthetics anchored by dental implants. Dental implants are screws that go down into the bone in which porcelain crowns and bridges can be cemented onto. These can be individual implants where each tooth used to be, or they can be spaced out with bridges anchored to them. The only way you would be able to tell if someone had them is via dental x-rays. Ms. Houston's oral cavity was large by comparison. If she would have had a removable denture, it would have been obvious when she sang, as the acrylic base of a denture spans the roof of the mouth commonly back to the soft palette. The coroner's report follows up clearly stating that she did not have a removable denture. You can access the full police and coroner's report in a .pdf format by searching for it on the internet. May she rest in peace.
