Candidates For Dentures
Did you know that about one in four adults over 65 have lost all their teeth? Dentures offer a reliable, natural-looking solution for tooth loss, restoring function and confidence. You might have spoken to denture wearers without even realizing it!
Ideal candidates for dentures:
- Need to replace multiple or all teeth
- Do not smoke or use tobacco
- Have a healthy jawbone (we can help!)
- Do not suffer from dry mouth
- Commit to proper denture care
- Continue regular dental check-ups
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!

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes! Dental bridges are great for filling small gaps, while dental implants provide a durable, long-term solution for any number of missing teeth. Implants require a bigger upfront investment and certain health qualifications, but they offer unmatched stability.
With good care, dentures typically last 5 to 10 years. Over time, your mouth changes shape, so adjustments or a new set may be needed to keep them fitting comfortably.
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.
Most foods are fine, but sticky foods (like caramel), hard foods (like raw carrots), and small, crumbly foods (like popcorn) can be tricky. You don’t have to give them up completely—just eat them carefully!
