Clean the dentures thoroughly at night by using cold water, liquid soap and a firm denture brush. Hot water may be harmful and NEVER use toothpaste as it is abrasive and will cause scratching of the denture materials.

Overnight, take your dentures out and immerse them in a denture bath filled with water or denture cleaner.

Denturists are Implant denture specialists. For teeth replacement the preferred method is dentures supported by implants. Surgical screws are implanted directly into the bone similar to how real teeth work. This provides the base for the dentures to connect with, which provides security and comfort when chewing or talking. The titanium in implants help stimulate bone growth, great news for denture wearers! The cost of these implants has become very affordable.
