Best Candidates for Dentures
Did you know nearly 25% of adults over 65 have lost all their teeth? Dentures are a reliable, natural-looking solution for replacing missing teeth—so natural, in fact, you’ve likely spoken with someone wearing dentures without realizing it!
You might be a good candidate for dentures if you:
- Need to replace several or all of your teeth
- Do not smoke or use tobacco products
- Have a healthy jawbone (we can help with this!)
- Do not have chronic dry mouth
- Are committed to caring for your dentures at home
- Continue regular dental check-ups
How to Care for Your Dentures?
Proper denture care includes regular cleaning and routine dental visits. Even with perfect dentures, you should visit your dentist periodically. During your check-ups, we’ll ensure your dentures fit comfortably and examine your gums, tongue, jaw, and overall oral health. Your total oral wellness matters—not just your teeth!
At-home denture care tips:
- Remove dentures overnight to rest your mouth.
- Soak dentures in warm water or denture cleanser.
- Avoid soaking dentures with metal clasps in solutions other than warm water.
- Always keep dentures in water when not wearing them to avoid drying and warping.
- Never use hot water for soaking.
- Gently clean and massage your gums daily.
- If a toothbrush irritates your gums, rinse it in warm water first or use a clean, damp cloth wrapped around your finger.
- Continue brushing any remaining natural teeth regularly.
