Who’s a Good Candidate for Dentures?

How to Care for Your Dentures? Even with well-made dentures, it’s important to keep up with regular dental visits. At your appointments, we’ll check the fit and condition of your dentures, assess your oral tissues, and make sure your overall oral health stays on track.
- Remove your dentures overnight to let your gums rest
- Soak them in warm water—with or without a denture cleanser
- If your dentures have metal parts, soak only in plain warm water
- Avoid hot water, as it can warp the material
- Store dentures in water when not in use to prevent drying out
- With dentures removed, gently clean your gums using a soft toothbrush or a clean, damp cloth
- If brushing feels uncomfortable, try warming the bristles or switching to a softer method
- If you wear partial dentures, continue to brush and floss your natural teeth daily

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes! If you’re missing just a few teeth, a dental bridge may be a good option. For those looking for a more permanent solution, dental implants can replace one or multiple missing teeth.
