Permanent implant-supported dentures are cared for just like natural teeth. If you have any removable dentures, however, they should be taken out of your mouth every night, cleaned with toothpaste and rinsed, and soaked in a denture cleaning solution. It’s also important to brush your gums and any remaining natural teeth to help keep your dentures clean. No matter what type of dentures you have, routine visits to the dentist are still important. These visits give your dentist a chance to check the fit and comfort of your dentures and the health of your mouth and gums. Even if no natural teeth remain, patients with dentures can still develop conditions like dental thrush (“denture sore mouth”) or periodontitis (gum disease).
