Teeth Whitening

Routine cleaning of artificial teeth is crucial for several reasons:

• Plaque Prevention: Dental plaque is a thin layer of bacteria and debris that hardens on teeth. It causes gum disease, much like it does with natural teeth.
• Helps Fight Bad Breath: If not well-cleaned, prosthetic teeth can develop an odor, leading to bad breath.
• Protection of Your Investment: A complete set of dentures or one dental implant can be expensive. Proper care ensures they remain attractive and last longer.
• Comfortable Maintenance: Clean dentures or implants are more comfortable to wear.

Daily Cleaning Routine for Artificial Teeth

For artificial teeth cleaning, here is a simple yet effective daily routine:

• Brushing: Use a soft brush, mild soap, or non-abrasive denture cleanser to brush your teeth. Do not brush your artificial teeth with toothpaste, as it may damage them. Gently scrub the entire surface of your dentures, including the clasps (for dentures) and the lower side.
• Rinsing: Thoroughly rinse your dentures over running water after brushing to remove any remaining food particles cleaning solution residues.
• Natural Teeth Care: If you have remaining natural teeth, continue to care for them by brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste and flossing daily, even if you have implants or dentures.

Nightly Cleaning Routine for Artificial Teeth

Besides brushing daily, leaving your dentures in water at night is essential. Here’s how:

• Soaking Solution: Pour lukewarm water into a denture bath or container and add a denture cleanser recommended by a Dentist. Such solutions are easily found in most pharmacies and drug stores.
• Overnight Soak: Immerse your dentures into the solution and let them soak overnight. This helps loosen any hard debris and kills germs.
• Morning Rinse: In the morning, remove your dentures from the solution and thoroughly rinse them under running water before placing them back in your mouth.

Professional Teeth Whitening

While daily cleaning is essential, it’s advisable to schedule professional artificial teeth cleaning at Prime Denture and Implant Center at least once a year. Here’s why:

• Deep Cleaning: Our denturists use specialized tools and solutions to remove deeply seated plaque and tartar buildup that home cleaning might miss.
• Inspection and Adjustments: During the cleaning, your denturist will inspect your implants or dentures for any signs of wear, damage, or loose fits. They can effect necessary adjustments for maximum comfort and function.
• Oral Health Assessment: The denturist will evaluate your overall oral health, including possible issues surrounding your dentures or implants.
