The number of appointments required to complete your denture can vary depending on the type of denture being made. Typically, this process involves 2 to 5 appointments. It is also common to require adjustments after your dentures are fitted to ensure optimal comfort and function. 

It is recommended to have a denture check-up at least every two years, or sooner if you experience any discomfort or notice changes in fit or function.

Cleaning dentures is straightforward. They are polished and high shined after construction, and maintaining their cleanliness is essential to preserve their appearance and longevity. The best method is to gently brush them twice daily using a soft brush and mild soap, followed by rinsing them thoroughly with water.   Avoid using abrasive brushes or regular toothpaste, as these can roughen the surface and lead to staining. For additional hygiene, it is recommended to soak dentures in a denture-cleaning solution, such as Caldent, once a week.

In most cases, dentures should not be worn while sleeping, as nighttime clenching or grinding can exert up to three times more pressure than during the day, However individual circumstances may vary, so it's best to discuss your specific needs with your clinician.

Dentures should be assessed at least every two years to ensure they remain functional, comfortable, and well-fitted. Because dentures are worn daily, they endure constant stress and pressure. Meanwhile, the mouth naturally changes over time - tissue and bone can shrink, and teeth may shift, especially following extractions. Although dentures are made from durable materials and can technically last many years, these ongoing changes mean that most dentures need to be relined, adjusted, or replaces every 2 to 6 years, depending on the individual case.
