At Crown Dental Group, your dedicated Dental Prosthetist can show you how to clean your dentures.
It is important to understand dentures are made of a specific material that require specialised, gentle care.
You can clean your dentures in three easy steps:
Step 1: Rinse your dentures under cold water and use a soft denture brush to remove any debris.
Step 2: Soak your dentures in a denture cleaning tablet or solution. While you’re waiting, brush your gums to stimulate blood circulation.
Step 3: Rinse your dentures.
Do not clean your dentures with:
There is no need to vigorously brush them, to use toothpaste, to put them in the dishwasher, or anything more abrasive. Subjecting your dentures to harsher cleaning practices can damage them.
Be sure to only use cleaning products and methods specifically designed for dentures. If you have dentures supported by implants, you need to be sure to clean underneath the dentures and around the implants regularly. If your implant-supported denture is removable, be sure to remove it in order to thoroughly clean the implants and the denture.
You should clean your dentures twice daily (the same as you would with your natural teeth). This will help prevent oral infections and inflammation that could lead to further tooth loss.
We can also thoroughly clean your dentures in our dental laboratory. Our dental prosthetist will be happy to answer any questions you may have and even walk you through cleaning your dentures if need be.
