Denture Cleaning

Even with daily at-home care, your dentures may develop stubborn plaque or tartar build-up over time. Our professional denture cleaning services are designed to thoroughly clean your dentures, ensuring they remain in top condition.

Preserve Longevity: Regular cleanings can extend the lifespan of your dentures.

Remove Stains & Build-Up: We eliminate plaque, tartar, and stains that daily brushing may miss.

Improve Hygiene: Professional cleaning helps reduce the risk of bad breath and oral health issues.

You should clean your dentures daily, just like natural teeth. Brush them gently with a denture-specific cleanser and soak them overnight in a cleansing solution.

No, regular toothpaste can be too abrasive and will damage the surface of your dentures, leading to a dull looking, and ill-fitting denture overtime.  Always use a non-abrasive denture cleanser.

We recommend visiting our clinic every 6-12 months for professional cleaning, depending on your needs. Regular visits will help keep your dentures fresh and functional.

Why is Denture Cleaning So Important?

Just like natural teeth, dentures can harbor bacteria, plaque, and debris if not cleaned properly. This can not only affect your oral health but also lead to bad odors and discoloration. Keeping your dentures clean is vital for maintaining your overall oral health and ensuring your smile always looks its best.

At-Home Denture Care Tips

Caring for your dentures at home is simple with the right techniques:

  • Handle with Care: Always hold your dentures over a soft surface like a towel, or a sink full of water to prevent damage.
  • Rinse After Eating: Rinse your dentures with warm water after meals to remove food debris.
  • Brush Daily: Use a soft toothbrush and denture-safe cleanser to clean your dentures.
  • Clean Your Gums: Use a soft, damp cloth or brush to gently clean your gums and tongue daily.
  • Soak Overnight: Keep your dentures in a denture cleansing solution overnight. Always rinse them before wearing again.

If you’re noticing discomfort or a loose fit, it might be time for a Denture Reline or Repair to ensure your dentures fit properly and stay in top condition.
