How do I clean my dentures?
Keeping dentures clean and well-maintained is essential for comfort, oral health, and confidence. Also, rinse your dentures following meals to remove food debris, and brush them daily using a soft denture brush and nonabrasive cleanser—regular toothpaste can be too harsh. Soak dentures overnight in a dentist-recommended solution to prevent drying and warping. Always handle them over a towel or sink of water to avoid damage. Finally, schedule regular dental visits so your dentist can check your fit, make adjustments, and ensure your gums stay healthy. Proper care extends their lifespan significantly.

How do full and partial dentures differ?
Full and partial dentures both restore smiles, but they serve different needs. Full dentures are idea for those who have lost all teeth in the upper or lower jaw, replacing an entire arch. Partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain, filling gaps while helping prevent surrounding teeth from shifting. Both options are custom-made for comfort and function. Our team will recommend what option is right for you based on your oral health, lifestyle, and long-term goals. Proper care and regular checkups help ensure dentures look natural, feel secure, and last longer comfortably.

How long will my dentures last?
Dentures can last for many years when cared for and maintained, but they are not a permanent solution. On average, full or partial dentures last five to ten years before needing replacement. Over time, everyday wear, changes in your gums and jawbone, and daily use can affect fit and comfort. Regular dental checkups help ensure your dentures continue to function properly. Cleaning them daily, handling them gently, and storing them correctly can extend their lifespan and keep your smile looking natural and comfortable. We can advise when adjustments or replacements are needed for health.
