How do you care for dentures properly?

The right fit

Why a good fit matters

A well-fitting denture is essential for comfort and effectiveness. It allows you to chew, speak and smile without your denture shifting or causing pain. A good fit also prevents irritation and inflammation in your mouth.

How Dental House Zierikzee ensures a good fit

At Dental House Zierikzee we take plenty of time to make your denture to measure. We use the latest technology, such as digital scans, to make sure your denture fits your jaw perfectly. We also check the fit regularly and can make adjustments where needed for an optimal result.

Daily cleaning

How to clean it

Thorough daily cleaning is essential to keep your denture in good condition. Rinse your denture with lukewarm water after every meal. You can also use a dedicated denture brush and a mild soap to clean it thoroughly. Avoid abrasive products, as these can scratch your denture.

Soaking overnight

Not just your denture but your mouth too benefits from proper cleaning. Soak your denture overnight in a dedicated cleaning solution or in water with vinegar. This removes bacteria and plaque and prevents unpleasant odours. Rinse your denture thoroughly the next morning before putting it back in.

Replacement and maintenance

How often should a denture be replaced?

On average a denture lasts around five to ten years. This varies from person to person, depending on the condition of your gums and jaw. Regular check-ups at Dental House Zierikzee allow us to assess whether your denture still functions well and to resolve any problems in good time.

What to do if it is damaged

If your denture is damaged, don't attempt repairs yourself. Doing so can make the problem worse. Contact Dental House Zierikzee and book an appointment to have your denture repaired or replaced.

A well-maintained denture is essential for a healthy mouth and a good quality of life. At Dental House Zierikzee you can count on professional, personal oral care, dentures included.
