Candidates for Dentures

Taking care of your dentures
Proper care ensures your dentures last longer and feel more comfortable. Routine exams allow us to monitor the fit of your dentures and check the health of your gums, jaw, and any remaining teeth. Here’s how to care for them at home:
- Remove dentures at night to let your mouth rest
- Soak them in warm water with or without denture cleanser
- Avoid using hot water, which can warp dentures
- Do not soak metal clasps in anything but plain warm water
- Clean your gums and massage them gently with a toothbrush or damp cloth
- Brush your natural teeth (if you have partial dentures) as usual
- Always store dentures in water when not wearing them to prevent drying

With proper care, most dentures last between 5 and 10 years. Your mouth changes over time, so periodic adjustments or a completely new set may eventually be needed.
It’s possible, but not recommended. Removing your dentures at night allows your gums to rest and reduces the risk of infection or irritation. It’s also the perfect time to clean your dentures and your mouth.
Well fitting upper dentures should have a suction like fit, while lower ones rest comfortably on your gums without shifting. Partial dentures should align smoothly with your natural teeth. If you feel irritation or notice movement, we’re happy to assess and adjust them.
Most foods are fine once you’re used to your dentures, but sticky treats like caramel, crunchy veggies like raw carrots, and foods with small particles like popcorn or seeded crackers can be tough on your appliance. Enjoy these in moderation and clean your dentures thoroughly afterward.
