Instructions Following Denture or Partial Delivery

Getting Used to Your Dentures

Multiple adjustments may be necessary over time to enhance the fit and comfort of your dentures or partials.
Practicing reading aloud daily can help you adapt more quickly to new dentures.
Take out your dentures for a minimum of six hours each day, ideally overnight, to allow your gums to rest.
After removing dentures, gently brush the roof of your mouth, tongue, and gums to remove any trapped food particles and prevent sore spots or inflammation.
Expect some initial discomfort with new dentures or partials, which should subside after a few days.

Clean your teeth and gums after you eat, floss nightly before bed, and brush your dentures daily.
Clean your dentures nightly and store them in a clean container with a denture-cleaning solution.
Visit our dental office regularly to ensure your dentures or partials are properly adjusted and inspected by our professionals to prevent jaw bone loss and oral health issues due to poor fit.
Should you encounter ongoing discomfort or have any inquiries regarding your dentures or partials, do not hesitate to reach out to our office for assistance.
