How Long Do Dentures Last For?
Depending on the quality of the materials used, dentures typically last from 5-10 years. Regular maintenance is very crucial to maintain the proper fit and function.
How Do I Clean Them?
In the evening, take them out and brush them gently with non-whitening toothpaste. It is best to keep them in a denture cup with water and a cap full of mouthwash overnight. Once or twice a week, using a denture cleaner will help with stains that may occur. We have a cleaner that removes stains and calcium buildup that most patients use. A softer toothbrush is also recommended for cleaning of the gums and tongue as well.
Should I Take My Teeth Out at Night?
The correct answer is definitely yes, but a lot of people do not feel comfortable removing their teeth every night, so I recommend at least 3 times a week to ensure and help your oral tissue stay healthy!
