Dentures are a great way to replace your missing teeth. Compared to other restoration methods like crowns, bridges, or implants, dentures are cheaper and easier to clean. However, knowing how to care for partial dentures to ensure their longevity and maintain their functionality is essential.
You should follow our dentist’s denture care instructions for patients after your appointment.
How To Care For Dentures
It is essential to follow denture aftercare instructions closely to have the best experience. Here are some immediate denture aftercare tips that will help you have a comfortable experience with your full or partial dentures.
Clean your dentures daily.
You should only use a soft-bristled brush and a non-abrasive denture cleaner to clean your dentures.
Soak your dentures overnight.
Dentures should be soaked in a denture cleaning solution or water overnight to keep them moist and prevent them from drying out.
Brush your gums and remaining teeth.
Brushing your gums and tongue with a soft-bristled brush is essential, even if you have no natural teeth left in your mouth.
Visit your dentist regularly.
Your dentist can check and adjust your dentures to ensure a proper fit.
How To Clean Stained Dentures
