How to Care for Your Dentures?
Proper maintenance keeps your dentures comfortable and long-lasting. Even with well-fitted dentures, routine dental visits are essential for monitoring oral health.
Denture care tips:
- Remove overnight to let your mouth rest
- Soak in warm water (with or without cleanser)
- Avoid hot water, which can warp dentures
- Store in water when not in use to prevent drying
- Massage your gums while dentures are out
- Use a soft brush or damp cloth if a toothbrush causes discomfort
- Brush natural teeth as usual if wearing partials
Regular care and check-ups ensure both your dentures and oral health stay in top shape!

Technically, yes—but it’s best to take them out at night. Removing them lets your gums rest, helps prevent irritation, and keeps your dentures cleaner.
Dentures should feel secure and comfortable. Full dentures should suction to your upper gums, while lower dentures should rest snugly in place. Partial dentures should fit smoothly with your natural teeth, and implant-supported dentures should snap in securely. If they feel loose or uncomfortable, we can adjust them for you.
