Usually no problems: Most times it will pass through your system with no problems or discomfort. You might want to check your stools for 4-5 days to see if it did pass through. If it didn't, then you might consider a chest x-ray to see if its in your lungs or somewhere in your intestines.

Probably: Things like this almost always pass. I know of a guy who swallowed a gold tooth. He did his thing in newspapers on the floor for five days, passed it, separated it out of the you-know-what, sterilized it and had it recemented. Go figure/.

Yes and no: While it is likely it will pass through, an x-ray of your GI tract is still a good idea as it could become trapped in your color especially if you have any diverticuli or in pouches in your colon. You can check your stool via screening it as well.

Yes.: The dangerous part is getting past your airway and into your stomach. Once it is there (if it wasn't you would be coughing and choking) it will pass...

Swallow false tooth: This isn't a problem at all. Inconvenient yes, but not a problem. It will easily pass with your bowel movement. Your dentist knows what color tooth and model of tooth that was used and the dental laboratory or your dentist can replace it on your denture.

Should pass: Typically not a problem. Usually passes right through.Eat normally, and drink plenty of fluids to keep the system working.You probably will not even notice it.See your dentist to fix the denture , but also to evaluate for wearing down of them and to recommend when new ones should be made.The expected life of a denture is 5 years, due to changes in the underlying tissues and the wear on the denture.
