How to Clean Your Dentures Daily
- Brush dailyusing a soft, large nylon denture toothbrushwith rounded bristles
- Clean all surfaces, inside and out, to remove plaque and food debris
- Use non-abrasive denture creams—avoid regular toothpaste, which can scratch and dull your denture
- Rinse thoroughly with cold or lukewarm waterafter cleaning
Never use hot water, which can warp or damage the material
Avoid Common Denture Mistakes
- Don’t use bleach or abrasive cleaners
- Never try to adjust or repair denturesyourself—always consult a dental professional
- Don’t let your dentures dry out—store them in water or denture solutionwhen not in use
Avoid sleeping with your dentures in unless directed by your dentist
Regular Maintenance Is Key
- Check for worn or discolored teeth—they may need to be replaced to maintain function and appearance
- Visit us regularly for fit checks and professional cleanings
- Report any loose-fitting dentures—they can cause irritation, sores, and bone loss
Most dental insurance plans cover denture replacement every five years, as changes in fit and wear are common over time. If you’re unsure about your coverage, our team can review your benefits and walk you through your options.
Health & Medication Considerations
- Let Dr. Obeidi know about any medicationsyou’re taking
- Dry mouth, bone loss, and soft tissue changes can affect your denture fit and comfort
- We’ll evaluate your mouth and dentures at each visit to ensure your long-term health
Your health can impact how your dentures fit and feel. Medications, bone changes, and dry mouth may cause discomfort over time. Regular checkups help us catch these changes early.
Your Comfort Is Our Priority
If your dentures are slipping, causing discomfort, or no longer look or feel the way they used to, it may be a sign that it’s time for an adjustment, reline, or even a replacement. Over time, natural changes in your gums and jawbone can affect how your dentures fit, leading to irritation, difficulty eating, or a less natural appearance. At Elite Dental Specialists, we offer prompt solutions, including same-day denture repairs and realignment services to restore comfort and function quickly. For those seeking a more secure, long-term option, we also provide implant-supported dentures that offer improved stability, enhanced chewing power, and a more natural look and feel. Whatever your needs, we’re here to help you smile with confidence again.
