Dentures are prosthetic appliances fabricated to fill the gaps of missing teeth. Conventional style dentures are removable appliances and are designed to be either a complete denture or a partial denture anchoring to adjacent teeth.
There are many denture designs, some which rely on chemical bonding or clasping onto teeth or attached via dental implants known as fixed prosthodontics.







Denture Cleaning
Remove denture whenever possible (especially overnight and keep in a dry and safe place)
Remove/rinse denture and mouth after eating
Use soft denture brush with non-abrasive dentifrice
Clean over sink filled with water
Bleach or vinegar can be used to remove stains (heavily diluted with water in the ratio 10:1). Concentrated bleach solutions can cause changes in colorations of acrylic darkening and/or damage of base.

Common Denture Concerns
Denture stomatitis (redness/inflammation due to denture not being removed especially at night)
Poor oral hygiene practices
“Sore spots” due to dentures ill-fitting and rubbing resulting in ulcers etc.
Loss of retention (therefore resulting in a reline of denture or a remake may be required)
Fractures due to dropping dentures (Acrylic resin can be repaired easily however metal-based or chrome cobalt dentures will require soldering or remake as much harder to add teeth too.
