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?

I should have specified – they are my husband’s old dentures. Probably not appropriate for a woman’s smaller frame. Sorry. Best of luck to you!
Are you accepting unwanted dentures? What is your address. Have several.
If you have any dentures you could donate that would be amazing. I need a top men’s plate if possible.
Looking for full sets of dentures if anyone has any
What do you want with full sets of dentures? I have a very nice set.
I have 3 sets
I’m trying to find a way to re use old dentures to make new ones for people that can’t afford them. I know they say it’s not possible but I think there might be a way.
I am looking for a set of dentures that are not being used just for teaching purposes for students at our hospital. I would love to have a pair or 2. Could you e-mail me back and let me know cost.
Thank you,
Crystal Vest, RN
Hi Cheryl and Crystal Vest,
Do either of you still need a full set of dentures? They are a petite woman’s.
Please email me at colkat@hotmail.com for mailing information.
Thank you so much!!!
I have an old set of dentures, upper and lower I’d give anyone, but I can’t afford to send them…
Hi Cheryl – Are you still needing dentures and what are they for? Judi
I have 3 sets
I meant this as a reply to everyone, I’m trying to find a way to re use old dentures to make new ones for people that can’t afford them
I have a set of dentures that are made to use with the posts in the lower denture. They could be used as regular dentures. I’d be happy to donate them to someone who will use them for other people to have teeth.
Are you wanting false teeth…my mother has a partial plate, hardly worn ….can you do anything with them ?
Hi Cheryl
My Dad just passed away and my Mum being ever resourceful tries to find a way to recycle and reuse, she asked if Dads dentures could be reused. I said I would ask Google and found you :)
I’m sure you will be inundated with donations but for Mum’s sake I’m asking if you would like them. Mum is 89 and went through WW2 as a child where she had very little and she wastes nothing!
Please email me at colkat@hotmail.com on where a woman’s full set of dentures can be sent to you. Wish more like you would undertake this!! There are so many people in need. God Bless!!
To Cheryl – Please email me (scottham1@live.co.uk) if you want me to send you an unwanted pair of false teeth. I think it’s great that you’re thinking of a way to recycle them as they were expensive when they were made privately so would be glad that they can be re-used! Thanks, Sally x
I have a set I will donate. Let me know .
I have a set of dentures which I would be willing to donate to your project. Where can I send them?
Good luck with the new venture.
I would love a set, I’m in need and would appreciate it dearly.
You can also bring your old iPod to an Apple Store and get 10 percent off a new one. Does not apply to iPod shuffle.
Can dentures be donated?
There are organizations that may take dentures as a donation, even if they do not explicitly state that they do. … The Japan Dentures Recycling Foundation is a nonprofit affiliated with UNICEF. It also accepts monetary donations
I’m looking for the same reasons – have come across the above as well as your post. Will be looking into it. Good luck to you.
I’m in need of a set of dentures. Just really need to know can they be refitted to fit me. I can’t afford a new set. I’m in the retail business and I’m embarrassed to speak or laugh in public. Any assistance would be appreciated. So basically in need of dentures and info on how to refit them. Thank you in advance.
My dad just recently passed away. I have his dentures. The bottom dentures are brand new just got them 1 month before he passed. Uppers he has had for a while. I don’t know how you can get them refitted but you are welcome to them if you want to try.
I also have his eyeglasses.
Please email me if you have any that you want to donate (shardy26@hotmail.ca)
soo sorry, I put up the wrong email it should say (shardy36@hotmail.ca)
Hi I have my late father’s dentures if you can make use of them?
I have 2 sets from my aunt that I would love to give to anyone who could use or donate to any type of research
Hi there,
I am researching laser-etching dentures. I would love to be able to offer this service to residents of care homes so that they don’t lose their dentures or get them or mixed up.
If you have any spares I would be super grateful if you would send them to me!
My email address is starr23@outlook.com

Hey Lauren.
Are you still looking for dentures? My mother-in-law passed away late last year and she had a set of partials. I don’t know what to do with them but feel they have to be of use to someone somehow.
Please let me know.

I have fallen on hard times and going to the dentist is out of the question. My front tooth has broken off and I don’t want to leave the house. I would appreciate if you still have your mum’s set of dentures that you could donate to me. I would love to be able to smile again. Thank you, thank you, thank you for thinking of me.
If someone still has any dentures they would like to donate I can use them for a nursing class I am teaching and could really use and it would be really appreciated.
Thank You,
