Dentures FAQs

If you have any questions about dentures, we’ve got answers.

With proper care, dentures can last for 5-10 years. However, it’s important to have them checked and adjusted regularly by your dentist. Over time, your mouth may change, and your dentures may need to be relined or remade.

Modern dentures are designed for comfort, but it may take a few weeks to adjust to wearing them. Proper fitting and adjustments help minimize discomfort.

While it’s possible, it’s generally recommended to remove dentures at night to give your gums a rest and allow for proper cleaning.

Alternatives to dentures include dental implants and bridges. Dr. Shahrokh will discuss the most appropriate treatment options for your specific situation.

Daily denture maintenance and home care can help you get the most out of your new appliance. The better you care for your dentures, the longer they’ll last. Here are some important guidelines to follow:

  • Never sleep in your denture. Remove it each night.
  • Soak your dentures in an approved denture solution as directed by our Encinitas dentist.
  • Every morning and evening, brush your dentures with a soft denture brush or toothbrush and lukewarm tap water.
  • Never use hot water to clean your denture, as high temperatures could cause warping in the acrylic.
  • Do not use bleach, abrasive pastes, or baking soda, as these can damage or scratch your dentures and cause them to harbor bacteria.
  • Hold your denture over a towel when cleaning it. That way, if you accidentally drop it, it’s less likely to break.
  • Bring your denture with you to your regularly scheduled six-month checkups to have it evaluated.

If your denture rubs or feels uncomfortable, contact our Encinitas dentist. Occasional adjustments or denture relines are sometimes needed as your jaw shape is likely to change over time.
