Remove and rinse after eating. Brush daily with a soft-bristled brush and denture cleaner, avoiding regular toothpaste which can scratch the surface. Soak overnight in denture solution or plain water — never hot water, which can distort the shape. Continue brushing your natural teeth, gums, and tongue twice daily, and keep up with regular checkups so we can examine both your dentures and natural teeth.
Both options replace missing teeth — but the experience is very different. Here's a side-by-side look.

Answers to the questions patients ask most about partial dentures.
May feel uncomfortable for a few weeks, similar to getting braces, but becomes easier over time. Initially avoid sharp-edged, tough, sticky, or hot foods.
A 2015 NIH study found seniors who wore dentures while sleeping long-term faced higher pneumonia risk. The CDC notes dentures may affect nutrition since wearers sometimes avoid harder-to-chew fruits and vegetables.
Patients missing all natural teeth may need adhesives; those with partial tooth loss may choose to use them for extra support, which can also help with neurological conditions, dry mouth, or certain medications.
Generally more affordable than other tooth replacement options; cost varies by case, and hybrid options involving implants increase per-implant.
Dental insurance may cover part of the cost, though a waiting period may apply for pre-existing conditions; dental savings plans are another option, and patients should check with their insurance provider for details.
