How do I clean and take care of my dentures?
Caring for your dentures helps them look great and feel comfortable every day. Rinse dentures after meals to remove food and debris, and brush them daily with a soft denture brush and a nonabrasive cleanser, as regular toothpaste can scratch them. Soak them overnight in a dentist-recommended solution to keep them moist and maintain their shape. Clean your gums, tongue, and any remaining teeth with a soft toothbrush each morning. Handle dentures over a towel or sink of water to prevent damage, and contact our office if you notice sore spots or looseness.

What types of dentures are available?
Traditional dentures are removable appliances designed to replace multiple missing teeth and can be customized for a comfortable, natural-looking fit. Fixed dentures, sometimes supported by dental implants, are securely anchored in place and offer added stability, confidence, and chewing strength. Both options are carefully tailored to your oral health needs, lifestyle, and goals. Our dental team is here to guide you through your choices and help you achieve a smile that feels comfortable, functional, and truly your own.

What is the best denture adhesive or denture glue?
A well-fitting denture is the foundation, but the “best” denture adhesive is the one that improves comfort without masking fit problems. Look for a zinc-free formula with strong, all-day hold, easy cleanup, and a taste you like—creams offer reliable sealing, while powders can feel lighter and less messy. Use a small amount, follow package directions, and remove adhesive nightly to protect your gums. If you need adhesive every day or have sore spots, we’re happy to evaluate your fit and adjust your denture.

What are partial dentures?
Partial dentures are removable dental appliances designed to replace one or more missing teeth while blending naturally with your smile. They help restore your ability to chew, speak clearly, and maintain proper alignment of your remaining teeth. Custom-made for comfort and appearance, partial dentures typically use a lightweight metal or acrylic framework that securely anchors to nearby teeth. With proper care, they can be a reliable, affordable solution for improving oral function, confidence, and overall quality of life. Our team helps guide you through options and ensures a comfortable fit.
