Who’s a Good Candidate for Dentures?
Nearly one in four adults over 65 are missing all their natural teeth. Dentures offer a dependable, natural-looking solution—so seamless that you’ve likely spoken to someone wearing them without even knowing.
You may be a strong candidate for dentures if you:
- Need to replace several or all of your teeth
- Don’t smoke or use tobacco products
- Have a healthy jawbone (we can help with this!)
- Don’t suffer from chronic dry mouth
- Are committed to proper care at home
- Continue regular dental visits, just as you would with natural teeth
Dentures can restore both your smile and your confidence—comfortably and effectively.
How to Care for Your Dentures
Good denture care is essential for your oral health. Even with well-fitted dentures, regular dental visits remain important. During your check-up, we’ll check the fit and assess your gums, jaw, tongue, and overall oral condition.
At-home denture care tips:
- Remove dentures overnight to let your mouth rest
- Soak them in warm water, with or without denture cleaner
- If your dentures have metal clasps, soak only in warm water (avoid cleaners)
- Keep dentures in water when not in use to prevent drying and warping
- Avoid hot water—it may distort their shape
- Clean and gently massage your gums when dentures are out
- If a toothbrush feels uncomfortable, soften the bristles in warm water or use a damp cloth
- If you wear partial dentures, continue brushing your natural teeth daily
With daily care and regular check-ups, your dentures can stay comfortable and functional for years to come.

Yes. Dental bridges are ideal for filling gaps caused by 1 to 3 missing teeth, while dental implants can replace any number of teeth. Implants do require a higher upfront investment and certain health conditions to qualify.
With proper care, dentures typically last between 5 to 10 years. Over time, natural changes in your mouth may require adjustments or even a new set to maintain comfort and function.
While you can sleep with dentures, it’s best to remove them overnight. Taking them out allows your gums and jaw to rest and gives you the chance to clean both your mouth and the dentures.
Well-fitting upper dentures should suction to your gums, while lower dentures should sit comfortably without sliding. Partial dentures should align with your natural teeth with minimal movement. Implant-supported dentures will securely snap into place. If anything feels off, book an appointment so we can assess and adjust the fit.
Once you’ve adjusted to your dentures, most foods should be manageable. That said, it’s wise to limit hard, sticky, or small-particle foods—like caramel, raw carrots, tough meats, popcorn, or seeded crackers—as they may cause discomfort or damage.
