Let's Determine If You're A Candidate For Dentures

Were you aware that approximately 25% of adults aged 65 and older have lost all their teeth? Dentures serve as a widely accepted and reliable solution for this issue. They are so natural-looking and dependable that you’ve likely conversed with someone who has them without even realizing it. Could you be a suitable candidate for dentures?

    To be a good candidate for this restorative procedure you should:
  • Wish to replace several or all of your teeth.
  • Not smoke or use other tobacco products.
  • Have a healthy jawbone (we can help you with this!).
  • Not suffer from dry mouth.
  • Be prepared to take good care of your dentures at home.
  • Continue to visit the dentist for routine exams – just like with natural teeth!

How Should You Maintain Your Dentures?

Regular cleanings and check-ups are key to ensuring your dentures stay in optimal condition. Even if your prosthetics seem flawless, periodic dental visits are essential. During these appointments, we’ll assess the fit of your dentures and also evaluate the health of your gums, tongue, jaw, and overall oral cavity. In essence, we’re invested in your complete oral well-being, not just your teeth.

    For at-home denture maintenance:
  • Take out your dentures at night to give your mouth a break.
  • Immerse your dentures in warm water, either with or without a denture cleanser.
  • If your dentures have metal clasps, soak them only in warm water.
  • When you’re not wearing your dentures, store them in water to prevent them from drying out and warping.
  • Avoid soaking them in hot water.
  • With your dentures out, take the time to clean and massage your gums.
  • If using a toothbrush irritates your gums, soften the bristles with warm water or opt for a clean, damp cloth wrapped around your finger.
  • If you have partial dentures, continue your regular tooth brushing routine for your natural teeth.

Once you’ve acclimated to your dentures, you should find that you can eat a wide variety of foods. However, some foods can be tough on your dentures or may lead to discomfort due to rubbing or irritation. Items that are hard or sticky—such as caramel, carrot sticks, or a chewy cut of meat—as well as foods with small particles like popcorn or crackers with seeds, could pose challenges. It might be best to enjoy these types of foods sparingly or as an occasional indulgence.

While it’s technically possible to wear your dentures to bed, it’s generally advised against. It’s a good practice to remove them at night for soaking, allowing you the opportunity to clean your mouth, gums, and any remaining natural teeth. This also gives your gums and jaw the necessary rest they need.
