Who Is a Good Candidate for Dentures?
Nearly one in four adults over the age of 65 are missing all of their teeth. Dentures are a dependable, natural-looking solution for replacing missing teeth. They fit comfortably, improve eating and speaking, and support overall oral health.
To be a strong candidate for dentures, you should:
- Want to replace several or all of your teeth.
- Avoid smoking or using tobacco products.
- Have healthy gums and sufficient jawbone.
- Not suffer from chronic dry mouth.
- Be committed to caring for your dentures at home.
- Visit your dentist regularly for checkups and adjustments.
How to Care for Your Dentures at Home
- Remove dentures overnight to let your mouth rest.
- Soak dentures in warm water with or without denture cleanser.
- Do not soak dentures with metal clasps in anything but warm water.
- Keep dentures in water when not wearing them to prevent drying or warping.
- Do not soak in hot water.
- With dentures removed, clean and gently massage your gums.
- If a toothbrush irritates your gums, use warm water or a soft, damp cloth.
- If you have partial dentures, brush your natural teeth as usual.
