Advice on Denture Care on the Central Coast


Cleaning Your Dentures


Although dentures are not natural teeth, they still suffer the same fate; plaque will build up if not cleaned correctly. To clean them properly, brush each day. The technique is similar to how you would brush your natural teeth, with only one significant difference; don’t use toothpaste. Instead, use a soft-bristle brush with water or a non-abrasive denture cleaner. In the process, be careful not to bend or damage any of the elements of your dentures.


At Complete Denture Clinic, we offer denture care advice to clients throughout the Central Coast. Whether you have full or partial dentures, the cleaning and care procedures are the same. For all enquiries, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Handling With Care


Dentures are fragile and must be handled properly to prevent breakage. We recommend placing a folded towel in the sink to safeguard your prosthetics if dropping occurs. While you aren’t wearing your dentures, ensure you soak them in cool water or a denture-cleaning solution. We can provide suggestions for your particular prosthetics.


If you happen to drop your dentures, our dental prosthetists on the Central Coast are here to assist you. We can assess any damage, provide repairs, or adjust the fit of your prosthetics if necessary. By taking proper care of your dentures, you'll have a better chance of ensuring a longer service life and successful usage for many years to come.

Removing Your Dentures


Removing your prosthetics each night will allow gum tissue beneath to rest. To remove your top dentures, place your thumb against your front teeth and press forward and upward towards your nose to dislodge. Your lower dentures will require you to pull slowly while rocking.


If your dentures are sticking, try not to panic. First, grab a glass of warm water and swish it around your mouth for several seconds. Warm water will help to loosen the suction that is causing your dentures to become stuck. Then place a finger between your denture and gum tissue, and gently move the dentures around in a circular motion until you can remove them.

Frequently Asked Questions


  • Can I usually eat with dentures?

    While you will need to adjust to eating with dentures, you should be able to resume your regular diet. With time and patience, you can chew more naturally, allowing you to eat all types of food. It would be best if you tried to avoid food that is too hot and harrowing food that puts your dentures at risk of damage.

  • If I need new lower dentures, will I also need to replace the upper set?

    Dentures are often created as a set and not in halves. Upper and lower prosthetics must fit together to experience the most comfortable result.

  • How often should I have my dentures checked?

    We typically recommend visiting your dentist or prosthetist at least twice a year for check-ups. This will help to ensure that your dentures fit properly, and any adjustments or repairs can be made if necessary.
