Denture Care Roseville, CA

Caring for your dentures properly ensures they remain comfortable, functional and long-lasting. Our dentist and team will provide you with detailed instructions on caring for your appliance, and following these tips will help you get the most out of your dentures.

Handle your dentures with care. Always brush them over a soft towel or a sink filled with water to prevent breakage if they are dropped. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and a denture-specific cleaner to gently clean all surfaces, as regular toothpaste may be too abrasive and cause scratches. After every meal, rinse your dentures to remove food particles and prevent stains.

Avoid soaking your dentures in hot water, as heat can cause the material to warp. When you are not wearing them, keep your dentures moist by placing them in water or a denture cleaning solution to maintain their shape. Letting them dry out can cause them to lose their fit, making them uncomfortable to wear.

Denture Maintenance

Regular dental checkups are essential for denture maintenance. During these visits, Dr. Sara Zeidan will inspect your dentures for any signs of wear or damage and make any necessary adjustments to ensure a proper fit. If your dentures feel loose or uncomfortable, schedule an appointment promptly to avoid sores or irritation. Wearing ill-fitting dentures for too long can cause pressure on your gums and underlying bone structure, which may lead to further complications. Our dentist may occasionally recommend that additional maintenance, such as rebasing or relining, be performed to ensure your dentures continue to fit and function optimally for you.

Broken Dentures

If your dentures break or crack, resist the temptation to repair them yourself. Over-the-counter adhesives can damage the denture further or cause injury to your mouth. Instead, contact BB Dental Studio immediately. Our dentist will assess the damage and perform professional repairs to restore your appliance safely. In some cases, we may suggest a temporary solution to keep you comfortable until your dentures can be fully repaired.

By caring for your dentures properly and seeking prompt care when needed, you can keep your smile healthy and functional for years to come.
