Are Dentures Right for You?
Did you know that nearly one-quarter of Canadians over the age of 65 are missing all of their teeth? Dentures are a popular and effective solution for restoring missing teeth, offering a natural and dependable appearance. Many people you know may wear dentures, and you wouldn’t even notice! But are dentures the right choice for you?
Here are some qualities that make you a great candidate for dentures:
- You want to replace several or all of your missing teeth.
- You don’t smoke or use tobacco products.
- You have a healthy jawbone (we can help with this!).
- You don’t suffer from dry mouth.
- You are committed to maintaining your dentures with good care at home.
- You will continue regular visits to your dentist for checkups, just like with natural teeth.
How to Care for Your Dentures
Proper care is essential to ensure your dentures stay in good shape. Even if you have high-quality dentures, regular checkups with your dentist are crucial. During your visits, we’ll inspect the fit of your dentures and check the health of your gums, tongue, and jaw. We focus on your entire oral health—not just your teeth.
At home, here’s how to care for your dentures:
- Remove dentures overnight to give your mouth a rest.
- Soak your dentures in warm water with or without denture cleaner.
- Don’t soak dentures with metal clasps in anything but warm water.
- Always keep your dentures in water when not wearing them to prevent warping.
- Avoid soaking dentures in hot water.
- Clean and massage your gums gently when dentures are removed.
- If your toothbrush irritates your gums, rinse it with warm water or use a clean, damp cloth wrapped around your finger.
- For partial dentures, continue to brush your natural teeth as usual.

Frequently Asked Questions
At Springdale Family Dental, we offer dental bridges as a solution for filling the gap caused by one to three missing teeth. For larger gaps, dental implants can be used to restore any number of missing teeth. While dental implants typically involve a higher initial cost and require certain health considerations, they provide a long-lasting and natural-looking alternative.
With proper care and maintenance, dentures typically last between 5 and 10 years. Over time, your mouth may change, and you might find that a new set of dentures is needed to ensure comfort and a good fit. Regular checkups with Dr. Harpaul Anand will help maintain the fit and function of your dentures.
While it is safe to wear dentures overnight, we recommend removing them before bed. Taking them out allows your gums and mouth to rest and provides an opportunity to clean both your dentures and remaining natural teeth. This helps maintain oral hygiene and comfort.
Your top dentures should form a natural suction with your gums, while your bottom dentures should stay in place without slipping. Partial dentures should fit snugly against natural teeth, and implant-supported dentures remain secure with a snap-fit mechanism. If you’re unsure about the fit, feel free to schedule an appointment with us to have them checked and adjusted as needed.
Once you’ve adjusted to your dentures, you should be able to enjoy most foods. However, some foods may still cause discomfort or affect the fit of your dentures, such as hard or sticky items like caramel, raw vegetables, and tough cuts of meat. Foods with small particles, like popcorn or crackers with seeds, can also be challenging, so it’s best to consume them in moderation.
Caring for your dentures is essential to maintain their appearance and fit. Be sure to clean your dentures daily with a soft toothbrush and non-abrasive cleaner to avoid damaging them. When not in use, soak them in water or a denture solution overnight to prevent them from drying out. Additionally, it’s important to brush your gums and remaining natural teeth to maintain good oral hygiene.
Yes, dentures can be adjusted if they become loose. Over time, the shape of your gums and jawbone may change, which can cause your dentures to lose their fit. If this happens, it’s important to visit Springdale Family Dental so Dr. Harpaul Anand can assess the fit and make the necessary adjustments for comfort and stability.
