Customized dentures and partials are a common restorative dentistry solution to missing teeth, allowing patients to eat, speak, and smile with comfort and confidence. Taking proper care of your dental prosthetics is critical to their appearance and longevity, and Dr. Ted Dunson at Southridge Dental in Denton, TX can help. Keep these tips in mind when caring for your dentures and partials to ensure their continued beauty and function.

Proper Care for Dentures and Partials

Taking good care of your dentures is simple, and it keeps them looking and feeling their best. First, it is important to remember that harsh toothpastes – such as those used for whitening teeth – are too abrasive for use on dentures and may lead to costly damage. Instead, brush and rinse your dentures daily with water and a special formula made for cleaning dental prosthetics. Avoid brushes with stiff bristles, as these can also damage the materials used to fabricate the dentures. In between brushings, remember to rinse your dentures with water after each time you eat.

When dentures are not being worn, they should be kept moist in either water or a specialized solution. Water should not be hot, as this can cause the material to warp. As always, Dr. Dunson and our team are here to answer any questions you may have regarding your dental prosthetics, their fit, and their care.
