This report suggests he had a number of sets and they were made from a variety of different materials as jack-russell has suggested. The set pictured on this page were made of hippo ivory.

Very good. There is a common myth in the US that Washington had wooden teeth and that is not true.

This has come up a number of times before. You might check questions 3133, 3902, 6748, 6958, and of special interest might be 15271. This one sheds some light on the possible original of the wooden-dentures myth.
