How can I reuse or recycle … old dentures?
We’ve had an email from Diana Meyrick-Thomas asking if there are any recycling schemes for false teeth – anyone got any ideas? Are there any groups collecting them for redistribution overseas?
And what about reuses? As a veteran humourologist, I’d be tempted to make them into gag items for around the home (bottle opener? cookie cutter? biting doorbell cover?) but has anyone else got any more sensible suggestions?

Why not make a cast of them and let the kids paint them etc?
You can make a really scary dummy for Halloween, complete with a nice set of pearly whites
I`d go for the novelty use. perhaps clean them up and put them in a cake or a punch bowl.
or use them as a hamper for someone getting on in years. my aunt got one with some false teeth marked as spare parts, she also got some coco,lavander scent,a copys of womens weekly and a bingo dabber and a bingo card. lucky she has a god sense of humour.
give them to a dental school?
Make some sort of scent thing out of them. You could put some lavender stuff in em’ an they would smell lovely. Might be a bit creepy tho.
yeah maybe just a little creepy to have lavender in them. i wouldn’t be sniffing closely.

lol put use them as a frame for one of those airfreshners that you plug into the wall, hilarity
Donate them a local art school – they love unique things like that for projects.

I think there should be a Lab that remake,reshape your old dentures. It would be recycled,and the cost should be lower than when a new one is made.
You could always send them to my brother, who is organising a museum of dentistry at Plymouth University
If your brother still wants dentures, please could he email me:

I’ve got several sets of my Mom’s dentures if you brother still wants them.
One is almost brand new, while the other two are older, with the one set of partials and a bridge, (I think they call it) dating back to the early 70′s.
Please ask your brother to contact me: maryhill10@gmail.com if he would like them.
Thanks.
Mary
If any one is interested, I could use some dentures, small medium or large makes no difference. Doesn’t matter if a few toofies are missing either.I use them in my dolls. Making them by hand is a pain in the buns. I would really appreciate it. Just give me a ping.

Are you still in need of dentures? My father passed away and I am looking

I would like any old dentures anyone has to use in making paper/cloth mache monsters. I will pay postage if you’ll send me any you have.

I am also an artist desperately seeking old sets of dentures – the more battered the better, but I’m not really too fussed about the condition. Please contact me if you or anyone you know can help! I will pay for the dentures, and for the postage costs.
I have 4 or 5 set’s of false teeth, And some broken one’s ones. I want to sell them.

I have a friend looking for 4 full sets of male false teeth for an art project – anyone know who I might contact as he needs them ASAP?
Thanks
I would not want my dad’s teeth to be gracing something unsavory. I don’t want a monster made out of him, etc. What exactly would be done with them.? I have 4 full sets upper and lower of male dentrures. One pair is brand new and cost $7000.
I’m also looking for a full set of dentures for an art project if anyone knows of anyone would you be able to contact me thankyou.
The artist won’t revel his ideas until they are finished and on display – however, his previous work does not include any monsters and has all been tasteful! The work is exhibited in a small French village and he doesn’t go in for scaring the locals. I hope this is helpful?
My father passed away last May and I have some sets of his dentures. I don’t want to throw them away but I don’t know what to do with them. I believe in recycling and would love to think they would live on in a work of art.
Please contact me at lin@socal.rr.com if you have a project that could use them.

I have three pair of dentures now, so I thank the folks who sent them to me; I think I have my share, now, so please contact others who can use them. Again, thanks so much for those who sent them to me; it’s good to keep things out of the landfill.
Have quite a few pairs of old dentures if anyone else needs any! I’ll be happy to pay to ship them to you.

I have an upper denture and a lower partial if anyone is interested.
My father just passed away and I have his dentures.
I love the idea of his teeth being used in an art project as he was an artist and sculptor himself. I would like to have an idea what the project would be though beforehand, if possible, and be assured that I will receive photos of the finished project as soon as its done.
Anyone interested?? Let me know!
