Home Maintenance 101

It’s best to clean dentures daily with warm water, mild soap, and a soft toothbrush, then rinse thoroughly. After that, you should clean your mouth and soak your appliance overnight in solution. Clean your dentures again before popping them back in, and never leave them out to dry.

These modern dental appliances are strong enough that you can eat almost anything. You might want to avoid hard and sticky foods, like nuts and gum.

Check-Ups and Relines

Regular check-ups with a dentist are essential to make sure your dentures are holding up well. It’s natural for the shape of your mouth to slightly change over time. Structural changes in your mouth plus the gradual wear of your appliance may lead to issues like a loose fit or uncomfortable rubbing.

Relining your denture can improve its comfort and fit. In some cases, our team of dentists can reline your appliance on the same day or within 24 hours.
