Proper aftercare is essential for the longevity and comfort of your new dentures. At London Dental Specialists, we provide comprehensive guidance on how to care for your dentures following treatment to ensure they remain functional, comfortable, and aesthetically pleasing for years to come.

Daily Denture Care Routine

• Regular Cleaning: Clean your dentures daily to remove food particles and plaque using a soft-bristled brush specifically designed for dentures.


• Soaking Overnight: Most dentures need to be kept moist to maintain their shape. Soak them in a denture-cleaning solution or plain water when not in use.


• Handling with Care: Always handle your dentures over a folded towel or basin of water to prevent damage if they're dropped.


• Rinsing After Meals: Rinse your dentures after eating to remove food debris and reduce staining.

The initial adjustment period with new dentures typically involves:

• Speaking Practice: Reading aloud can help you become accustomed to speaking with your new dentures.
