There are two primary types of dentures: full and partial. Your dentist will assist you in choosing the best type based on whether you need to replace some or all of your teeth and considering the associated costs.

Cleaning Dentures:

Clean dentures after meals or at least twice daily using a soft toothbrush and warm or cold water.

Avoid using toothpaste or harsh abrasives as they can damage the denture material.

Never clean dentures while wearing them to prevent missing crucial areas and oral health issues.

Storing Dentures:

Store dentures in a moist environment when not in use to prevent warping.

Consider using a denture box with water to maintain their shape and prevent drying out.
