The Importance of Denture Care
Removable dentures are delicate prosthetics that require regular maintenance. Proper care extends the life of the denture, protects oral health, and ensures comfortable use.
Daily Care Routine
- Remove the denture after every meal and rinse it under running water
- Clean it at least once a day with a soft denture brush
- Do not use regular toothpaste (it can be abrasive); prefer denture cleaning tablets
- Remove the denture at night and soak it in clean water or denture solution
- Without the denture, gently clean your gums and palate with a soft brush
When Should Dentures Be Replaced?
The jawbone changes shape over time. Therefore, the fit of the denture may gradually deteriorate. Usually, relining (rebasing) or replacement is needed every 5-7 years. Consult your doctor if there is looseness, sores, or if the denture falls out.
Transition from Dentures to Implants
Patients dissatisfied with removable dentures can switch to permanent and fixed solutions with All-on-4 or implant-supported denture options.
