The highest insured dentures are a set that once belonged to George Washington and are insured for $10 million (£7 million). They are currently on display at Mount Vernon, George Washington's estate in Virginia, USA.

The owners of the estate bought the dentures for $5,500 (£4,000) in 1949. The false teeth are made of elephant ivory, cows teeth and slave's teeth which all sit in a lead base kept in place by two coiled springs. They were made because George Washington only had one healthy tooth when he was inaugurated as America's first president in 1789.
