@Suziepeach   Wow I've never heard of this...I'm going to mention it to my dentist tomorrow and get his thoughts on it.

@caroln242 I just checked on Amazon and keyed in “decorative small jars” and a bunch of them came up. Pretty colored glass candy jars, etc. that you can store them in. It doesn’t have to be an actual denture case .

Pretty or plain, I didn't know you're supposed to leave your denture case out for public display.  Most people don't want to advertise that they wear dentures and tuck the case away in a cabinet or drawer.  It should be a private thing.

I guess you could glue rhinestones or silk flowers on it and make it suitable for your coffee table.

@Kachina624 Out for public display lol.  Too funny.  I take my teeth and the case into my bedroom and put it in my dresser drawer because I have my 4 year old great grandson living with me and if should find them in the bathroom I know he would try wearing my dentures, and that would not be a good thing, tho maybe funny.:smileyvery-happy

About implants...

The part which goes into the jawbone is permanent and that part is called an implant. The additional thing that sticks out of the gum is called an abutment and that is what connects to a fitted single permanent tooth (crown) or it could connect to a removable secured denture which snaps in place where the abutments are located in the gum.  An abutment can be removed if it gets damaged but is considered to be permanent otherwise.

ETA - If you have a section of missing teeth in a row, you can get a partial secured denture for that, too, or the row of missing teeth can be secured permanently with a single implant with multiple teeth on it (crown bridge).

The denture cases available are not water tight, so putting in and out of a drawer or cabinet usually leads to a leakage/spillage of water from the denture case.

I guess it's hard to understand unless you actually have to use them.

ETA: Your comment about making them suitable to display on your coffee table is SO insulting, out of context, condescending and not necessary, IMO.

I'm really surprised to read that from you, but nothing should surprise me anymore when it comes to 'people'.

I took your idea of checking for "decorative small jars" on Amazon and came up with this antique (looking) mercury glass container.

Now that's pretty!  Right size, too, I think.  Thanks for the idea, Mamaslittlepotato!

@caroln242 You’re welcome! Glad to help. 😊

Check Amazon.  Lots of colored ones, lots of different ones.  Big surprise to me.

@caroln242 , yes 5hey are ugly. My late mother and father had them. I have an ugly retainer case, but you could put your dentures in a pretty jar or box.
