Expert Denture Care at Parksville Denture Clinic

Keeping Your Smile Bright and Healthy

At Parksville Denture Clinic, we believe that proper denture care is essential for maintaining a healthy smile and extending the life of your dentures. Whether you’re new to dentures or a long-time wearer, our team is here to provide you with the best practices for denture maintenance and hygiene.

Daily Denture Care Tips:

1. DAILY CLEANING:

Rinse after Eating: Rinse your dentures under water after meals to remove food particles and other debris.
Brush Daily: Use a soft-bristled brush and non-abrasive denture cleaner to gently clean the surfaces of your dentures. Avoid using regular toothpaste, which can be too harsh for denture materials.

2. SOAK OVERNIGHT:

Keep Dentures Moist: When not wearing them, soak your dentures in a denture-cleansing solution or water to prevent them from drying out and losing their shape.
Use Cleansing Solutions: Soaking in a denture-cleansing solution can help remove tough stains and bacteria. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

3. HANDLE WITH CARE:

Avoid Drops: Dentures are delicate and can break if dropped. Always handle your dentures over a towel or a sink filled with water.
Regular Dentist Visits: Schedule regular check-ups with your denturist to ensure your dentures fit well and to check for any signs of wear or damage.

Professional Denture Services:

At Parksville Denture Clinic, we’re committed to providing comprehensive care for your dentures, including:

Adjustments and Repairs: Over time, your dentures may need adjustments or repairs to ensure a comfortable and secure fit. Our clinic offers prompt and professional service to address these needs.
Professional Cleaning: While daily home care is essential, professional cleaning can remove hard-to-reach plaque and tartar, ensuring your dentures and your mouth stay healthy.
Replacement: Dentures typically need to be replaced every 5 to 7 years due to wear and changes in your mouth’s shape. We can guide you through the replacement process, ensuring your new dentures fit perfectly and look natural.

The Importance of Oral Health:

In addition to caring for your dentures, maintaining the health of your mouth is crucial. Remember to brush your gums, tongue, and palate every morning before inserting your dentures. This stimulates circulation in your tissues and helps remove plaque.
