Denture Maintenance
Maintaining Partial Dentures
Here are some care tips from Clear Denture Care:
​
-
Ensure to clean your denture daily using a denture brush, warm water, and mild dish soap. Avoid using regular toothpaste, as it may cause abrasion and diminish the luster of your denture teeth and base.
-
Thoroughly clean your natural teeth with a toothbrush, toothpaste, or specialized tools like toothpicks or interdental brushes to remove plaque. Don't forget to gently brush the gum areas covered by the denture.
-
Unless specifically advised otherwise by your Denturist at Clear Denture Care, avoid wearing your partial denture overnight for optimal oral health.
​
On a side note, refrain from soaking your metal partial overnight in a denture cleaner, as the carbonate in the cleaner can react with the titanium, potentially causing discoloration.
Maintaining Complete Dentures
-
After each meal, rinse both your denture and mouth thoroughly with water.
-
Clean your denture daily using a denture brush, warm water, and mild dish soap. Avoid using regular toothpaste, as it can scratch and dull the denture.
-
Take care to brush the denture teeth and inner surfaces for about two minutes. Additionally, gently brush your gums with a soft brush.
-
After thorough brushing, rinse the denture under running water.
-
Unless advised otherwise by your Denturist at Clear Denture Care, avoid wearing your denture overnight to allow the supporting tissue to rest and recover.
-
When not wearing your denture, keep it moist. Complete dentures can be immersed in a commercial denture cleaning solution.
-
Before wearing your denture, ensure to rinse it under running water.
Damage Prevention
At Clear Denture Care, we emphasize the importance of proper denture maintenance for your oral health. Here are some essential tips to keep your denture clean and in top condition:
​
-
Regular brushing is key: Simply immersing your denture in a cleaning solution isn't enough to eliminate bacteria from plaque. Brush your denture every day to effectively remove plaque and bacteria buildup.
-
Avoid harmful substances: Refrain from immersing your denture in pure alcohol or bleach, as well as using detergents or dishwashing agents, as they can damage your denture.
-
Be cautious with water temperature: Never clean your denture with hot or boiling water, as this can distort its shape and affect its fit.
-
Seek professional cleaning when needed: If you notice stubborn plaque or dental calculus on your denture, consult your Denturist at Clear Denture Care for professional cleaning. Attempting to remove it yourself with tools may result in damage to the denture.
At Clear Denture Care, we offer professional denture cleaning services using specialized tools and solutions to ensure your denture looks and feels like new again. Trust us to keep your smile bright and healthy.
Re-fit your dentures at Clear Denture Care
Your denture is crafted specifically for your mouth, maintaining its shape while changes occur in your mouth over time. It's crucial to have your denture's fit assessed regularly by your Denturist at Clear Denture Care, as you may need a reline. If you experience any discomfort, please reach out to our office for an adjustment. Attempting to fix the issue yourself could damage your dentures and harm your oral health. Additionally, when using adhesives, follow the instructions provided by your Denturist and adhere to the recommended duration.

Resilient Soft Liners at Clear Denture Care
For patients experiencing chronic discomfort with lower dentures, adding a soft, compressible layer between the gums and acrylic denture bases can make a world of difference. Acting as a shock absorber, this layer significantly enhances patient comfort. At Clear Denture Care, we use Molloplast B for this purpose, which can be incorporated during denture construction or added to an existing denture during a relining procedure.
On average, these linings typically last anywhere from two to five years, providing long-term relief and comfort for denture wearers.
