Looking for a source that is US based or has US distributor for denture teeth that look black/red from chewing betel nuts.

It's a cultural thing. The darker your teeth, the more you eat. They're a status symbol.

@kcdt I bet you've got memories of a source at least.

try sand blast and use ortho dye on a set... most ortho dye is methacrylate based, so it will bond and hold. use black and red as your colour palate

I know they used to exist as carded teeth. Probably gone the way of the ethinic waxes now.

Ethnicity is over rated. Everyone wants to be generic or the same now. Soon we'll all be engineered to be grey......

The Betel nut will stain denture teeth as well. How long it will take, I don't know. At the first lab I worked in we got a case in several times for repairs and a reline eventually that the teeth were black like the pic above and the rx would always say not to clean the teeth. Not only were they black but they had yummy calculus build up on them as well. Kiss me baby!!! Puke

Dentsply used to make them. No longer for probably 20 years now. I’ve got one on a key chain from Dentsply in my trinkets drawer, along with a Targis Vectris watch, lol
