Denture CareMiami,FL

Proper denture care is an essential part of a daily routine. Full and partial dentures should be cleaned daily to remove bacteria. Regular care keeps your dentures free from stains and your mouth in good health. On this page, we break down the steps to take when caring for dentures and how to make sure your mouth stays healthy.
If you would like to talk to someone directly for advice on your care regimen, Relax and Smile Dental Care is here for you.

Laser-Precise. Medically Administered.

CO₂ laser technology is among the most powerful tools in modern aesthetics — and in untrained hands, among the most consequential. At Relax and Smile, every laser treatment is performed by Dr. Roman, a dental-medical professional with formal training in laser therapy.

From targeted under-eye tightening to full-face resurfacing, these treatments work by triggering your skin’s own regenerative response — stimulating collagen, tightening tissue, and restoring a smoother, more youthful surface.

Precision is everything. And here, it’s guaranteed.

Daily care for full and removable partial dentures follows a different regimen than care for natural teeth. For instance, as part of your routine after eating, you should rinse your dentures to remove any food particles and bacteria.

At least once a day, preferably before going to bed, you should follow these steps to keep your dentures clean and in good shape:

  1. Safely remove dentures after eating. A University of Michigan study recommends taking them out over a towel or sink filled with water. Dropping dentures, even just a few inches above a hard surface, can cause them to crack or break.
  2. Rinse and brush dentures with soft bristles and no toothpaste. Run your dentures under a sink to remove plaque and food particles. It is best to use brushes and cleaners specifically designed for dentures. Hand soap or mild dishwashing liquids are also acceptable cleaners. However, most household cleaners could damage dentures and are not advised. Never use toothpaste to clean dentures as it is too abrasive. After running your dentures under water, rinse and apply cleaner to the brush. Scrub your dentures gently, moving the brush’s bristles over every surface. Brushing too hard could alter the shape of the plastic and affect the metal band attachments.
  3. Put dentures in cool water or solution overnight. Dentures may only be placed in cool water as warm water can warp its shape. According to the American Dental Association (ADA), dentures must also stay moist at all times. Some dentures should only be placed in water as a solution may dull the metal attachments. If a solution is advised, there are several popular brands to choose: Efferdent®, Polident®, and Retainer Brite®. We can recommend whether to use a solution in your daily denture care.
  4. Once dentures are set aside, brush your teeth and gums with a soft-bristled brush. Caring for partial dentures still requires regular flossing and brushing of natural teeth. When caring for full or partial dentures, brushing your gums and tongue stimulates circulation; this is especially important to do after affixing your dentures in the morning. Make sure to massage and wash out your mouth with salt water regularly when dentures are removed.
  5. Thoroughly wash off denture solution before placing them back in the mouth. Dentures should be rinsed to avoid ingesting solution. According to the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, swallowing solution can cause irritation, swelling, or trouble breathing.

If the dentures are not removable and stick to the patient's gums, then the dentist will recommend a different cleaning regimen. In many cases, caring for implant dentures will be the same as taking care of permanent teeth with brushing twice a day.

Even if you have lost all your teeth, it is essential to seek professional dental care regularly. A dentist can advise the right treatment and cleaning techniques for your dentures. Patients with dentures should seek care every six months unless a dentist recommends otherwise. Dentists can also look for signs of oral cancer, perform routine cleaning, and examine dentures for fit.

Over time, you may need to adjust or repair your dentures. After receiving dentures, follow-up appointments are typically made for adjustments. If your dentures have breaks, chips, cracks, or a loose tooth, you should contact a dentist immediately. Most repairs and adjustments can be made on the same day. However, complex maintenance might need to be sent to a repair specialist. Your dentures will typically last five to ten years before needing replacement, but complete replacements can be made earlier.

Do not attempt to adjust or repair dentures by yourself. Do-it-yourself kits can permanently damage dentures or harm one's oral health. Household glues should never be used as they can contain harmful chemicals if swallowed. The U.S. FDA warns against overuse of denture adhesives and suggests to use only use as a temporary solution when dentures become loose. Certain denture bonding products have Zinc, which may cause health problems if used in excess. When used responsibly, you may choose from a variety of denture adhesives, such as Fixodent® Original, Super Poligrip®, and DenTek® Secure. For more information on how to repair or adjust your dentures, you may contact us to speak with a qualified professional.

Maintaining good oral hygiene and consistent dentures cleaning can help reduce the number of visits to a dentist. For partial dentures, clean the teeth that rest under the metal clasps diligently as plaque tends to build under the clasps. Avoid using whitening toothpaste on natural teeth. Never use products containing bleach on your dentures as it can tarnish the metal attachments. Eating well-balanced meals also contributes to a healthy mouth.

While dentures are durable when in use, they are not invincible. Simply dropping the dentures on a rough surface can break, chip, or damage the dentures. If this happens, it is crucial to seek our professional services for repairs. The patient needs to protect the dentures to prevent further damage and should not try to wear them if the dentures are too damaged. We can ensure the dentures receive the repairs they need to function properly without irritating the patient’s mouth when in use.

Repairing dentures is not the time for patients to attempt a DIY (Do It Yourself) project. One wrong move can damage the dentures further and increase the risk of harming the patient’s mouth. During the appointment, we will determine the extent of the damage before developing the patient’s treatment plan. In some cases, the repairs may take several appointments to complete. The length of treatment time will depend entirely on the condition of the dentures and the issue we need to repair.

Once complete, we will make sure the dentures fit the patient’s mouth and send them on their way. If there are any future concerns or questions about proper denture care, our team can help during a consultation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Quiet Nite a treatment for sleep apnea?

No. Quiet Nite is a non-invasive laser comfort treatment designed to help tone and tighten soft tissues that may contribute to snoring — it is not a treatment for sleep apnea or any diagnosed sleep disorder. Sleep apnea is a serious medical condition that requires diagnosis and treatment by a qualified sleep medicine physician. If you suspect you have sleep apnea, please consult a medical specialist. Quiet Nite is an aesthetic tissue-tightening procedure for comfort purposes only. Results may vary.

What is the difference between PRF Bio-Filler and traditional dermal fillers?

Traditional dermal fillers use synthetic hyaluronic acid or other materials to add volume beneath the skin. PRF Bio-Filler uses a concentrated preparation of Platelet-Rich Fibrin derived from your own blood — making it a biologically-derived approach to volume restoration. Because it uses your own growth factors, it may offer a more natural-looking result with a lower risk of adverse reactions. PRF Bio-Filler is designed for patients who prefer a natural approach using their own biology. Results may vary and individual outcomes differ.

What is SmoothLase® and why does it require a dental provider?

SmoothLase® is a non-surgical laser treatment performed inside the mouth that stimulates collagen production and tightens facial tissues from within — improving skin firmness and softening wrinkles without any external incisions or downtime. Because the treatment is administered intraorally (inside the mouth), it requires the expertise of a licensed dental-medical professional who has the training, equipment, and clinical access to perform it safely. This is a treatment that most aesthetic clinics simply cannot offer. Results may vary.

Can I combine multiple aesthetic treatments?

Yes — many of our treatments are designed to complement each other and can be strategically combined for enhanced results. For example, Targeted PRF Bio-Renewal is frequently added on to a PRF Microneedling Facial, and HairSOME™ is designed as an enhancement to PRF Hair Rejuvenation. Your provider will review your goals during the consultation and recommend a combination approach if it's appropriate for your skin type, health history, and desired outcomes. Results may vary.

How many sessions do I need to see results?

The number of sessions needed depends on the treatment and your individual goals. Some patients notice improvement after a single session, while others achieve optimal results through a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart. For example, PRF microneedling is often recommended as a series of 3 sessions, while CO₂ resurfacing may deliver significant results in one session. PRF hair rejuvenation typically requires multiple sessions over several months. We'll build a personalized treatment plan during your consultation. Results may vary.

Are aesthetic treatments performed by a dentist safe?

Yes — in fact, having a medically trained dental provider perform aesthetic treatments offers significant safety advantages. Dentists have advanced clinical knowledge of facial anatomy, including the precise location of nerves, blood vessels, and tissue structures. This expertise directly translates to safer, more precise aesthetic treatment outcomes. At Relax & Smile Dental Care, all treatments are administered by a licensed medical professional using medical-grade equipment and sterile clinical protocols.

Is there any downtime after PRF or laser treatments?

Downtime varies by treatment. PRF microneedling typically involves mild redness and sensitivity for 24–72 hours, similar to a light sunburn. CO₂ laser resurfacing may require a longer recovery period depending on the depth of treatment. Non-ablative laser treatments like SmoothLase® and LipLase® generally involve little to no visible downtime. Your provider will walk you through exactly what to expect at your consultation based on your specific treatment plan. Results and recovery may vary by individual.

What is PRF and how does it work?

PRF stands for Platelet-Rich Fibrin — a concentration of growth factors and healing proteins derived from a small sample of your own blood. During treatment, blood is drawn in-office, spun in a centrifuge to concentrate the growth factors, and then applied topically or injected into the treatment area. PRF works by stimulating your body's own regenerative processes — encouraging collagen production, cellular renewal, and tissue healing naturally. Because it uses your own biology, there are no synthetic additives or foreign substances involved. Results may vary by individual.
