How Do I Take Care of My Dentures?
Routine cleanings and dental exams are important for keeping your dentures in good shape. Even if your dentures fit perfectly, regular check ups are essential. During your visit, we will inspect the fit of your dentures and examine your gums, tongue, jaw, and mouth. We care about your overall oral health, not just your teeth.
- Remove dentures overnight to allow your mouth to rest.
- Soak dentures in warm water with or without a denture cleanser.
- Do not soak dentures with metal clasps in anything but warm water.
- When not wearing dentures, keep them in water to prevent them from drying out and warping.
- Do not soak in hot water.
- Clean and massage your gums when dentures are removed.
- If brushing your gums with a toothbrush is uncomfortable, run the brush under warm water or use a clean, damp cloth wrapped around your finger.
- If you wear partial dentures, continue to brush your natural teeth as usual.

Frequently Asked Questions
Dental bridges can restore gaps caused by one to three missing teeth. If you are missing more teeth, dental implants may be used. While implants tend to be a higher initial cost, they are a long term solution with specific health requirements for eligibility.
With regular care and maintenance, dentures can last between 5 and 10 years. Over time, your mouth may change, and you may decide to get fitted for a completely new set of dentures.
It is possible to wear your dentures at night, but it’s generally recommended that you remove them. Taking them out overnight allows you to clean your mouth, gums, and remaining natural teeth, giving your gums and jaw a chance to rest.
Your top dentures should suction to your gums, while the bottom dentures will float above your gums but stay in place. Partial dentures should align with your natural teeth without moving too much. Implant supported dentures snap into place and remain stable. If you have concerns about the fit, feel free to book an appointment, and we can check and adjust them as needed.
Once you’ve had time to adjust to your dentures, you should be able to eat most foods. However, some foods may be harder on your dentures or cause irritation. Foods that are hard or sticky, like caramel, tough meats, or carrot sticks, as well as foods with small particles like popcorn or seeded crackers, might present challenges. It’s best to enjoy these foods occasionally.
