Denture Clean & Polish
Just like your natural teeth, dentures need cleaning and maintaining. As well as daily oral care to remove plaque from your own teeth and denture, we recommend professional cleaning twice a year.
We provide cleaning and polishing services for all prosthetics including acrylic dentures, partials and night guards.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is professional denture cleaning important?
Over time, dentures accumulate plaque, stains, and bacteria that regular brushing may not remove. Professional cleaning ensures they remain fresh, hygienic, and in good condition.
How often should I have my dentures professionally cleaned?
It’s recommended to get your dentures professionally cleaned and polished at least once a year to maintain their appearance and longevity.
Can professional cleaning remove stains from dentures?
Yes, our cleaning process effectively removes stains from coffee, tea, wine, and tobacco, restoring your dentures to a cleaner and brighter look.
Will professional cleaning affect the fit of my dentures?
No, the cleaning process does not alter the shape or fit of your dentures. If you experience any discomfort, we can assess whether adjustments are needed.
What’s the difference between home cleaning and professional denture cleaning?
While daily cleaning at home is essential, professional cleaning uses specialized equipment and solutions to remove deep stains, plaque, and tartar buildup that regular brushing cannot eliminate.
How long does a denture cleaning appointment take?
A typical denture clean and polish session takes about 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the level of buildup and staining.
Can I use regular toothpaste to clean my dentures?
No, regular toothpaste can be too abrasive and may scratch the surface of your dentures. It’s best to use a recommended denture cleaner or have them professionally polished.
