Dentures are a reliable, natural-looking solution for missing teeth. Many adults can speak, eat, and smile comfortably with well-fitted full or partial dentures. Wondering if you might be a good candidate? Consider the checklist below.
Good candidates typically:
- Want to replace several or all missing teeth.
- Do not smoke or use other tobacco products.
- Have healthy gums and adequate jawbone support.
- Do not suffer from chronic dry mouth.
- Are prepared to care for their dentures at home.
- Commit to routine dental visits for ongoing exams and maintenance.
Caring for Your Dentures
Routine cleanings and examinations help keep your mouth healthy and your dentures fitting well. At Dentistry @ Queenston, we assess how your denture seats and evaluate your gums, tongue, jaw, and bite to ensure overall oral health, not just the prosthetic.
At-home care tips:
- Remove dentures overnight to let your mouth rest.
- Soak dentures in warm water with or without denture cleanser.
- Avoid soaking dentures with metal clasps in anything but warm water.
- Keep dentures in water when not wearing them so they do not dry out or warp.
- Do not soak dentures in hot water.
- With dentures removed, gently clean and massage your gums.
- If your toothbrush irritates your gums, rinse with warm water or use a finger wrapped in a clean, damp cloth.
- If you wear partial dentures, brush your natural teeth as usual.
