Technically yes, you can. But we don’t recommend it. It is important to give your gums, soft tissue and teeth (if you have some remaining) a break during the night. This prevents sore spots and fungal infections from developing. We recommend you clean your dentures before bed and store them in a secure container overnight.

We don’t recommend using toothpaste to clean them. Some toothpastes are quite abrasive and can scratch your dentures. Denture cleaners can be purchased at a drugstore. We also encourage patients to bring their dentures with them to their dental appointments so that we can clean them using our ultrasonic cleaner.

Absolutely! Every patient is different, but it is normal for it to take weeks to months to get used to wearing, speaking and eating with your new dentures. We recommend taking your time getting used to them. Once you have adjusted to wearing them, they will feel second nature to you.

Yes, sometimes after wearing your dentures for months or years they may require minor adjustments. We are always happy to make these adjustments for you.
