Denture Cleaning Edmonton

Dentures collect plaque, tartar and stain just like natural teeth, and the tissue underneath needs checking. We clean full and partial dentures ultrasonically, care for any remaining teeth and implants, and screen the mouth.

Why Denture Cleaning Matters for Your Oral Health

A denture sits on living tissue. Denture Cleaning Edmonton helps maintain the cleanliness of the denture and the surrounding oral tissues. Plaque under it causes red, sore gums and yeast infections; tartar on it holds stain and odour; and the mouth beneath still needs screening for oral cancer, which is more common in older adults. If you have a partial denture, the natural teeth it clips to are at high risk of decay and gum disease.

At Yours Dental Hygiene, denture care is a routine part of family and senior hygiene.

What a Denture Cleaning Visit Includes

Ultrasonic Cleaning, Tissue Check, Screening

Your denture goes into an ultrasonic bath that removes tartar and stain from places a brush cannot reach, and is polished so it feels smooth again. Meanwhile we examine the gums, palate and tongue for sores, redness and yeast, screen for oral cancer, check fit and wear, and clean any remaining natural teeth or implants.

  • Ultrasonic cleaning and polishing of the denture
  • Tissue check for sores, redness and yeast
  • Oral cancer screening
  • Cleaning of remaining teeth and implants
  • Fit and wear assessment
  • Referral to your denturist for relines and repairs

We do not make or repair dentures. Denturists do that, and we work alongside them.

Partials and Implants

Protecting the Teeth Your Denture Depends On

Partial dentures rest on natural teeth with clasps that trap plaque. Those teeth decay and loosen faster than any others, and losing one can mean remaking the partial. Fluoride varnish, meticulous cleaning around clasps and more frequent visits protect them.

Implant-supported dentures need the implants cleaned with instruments that will not scratch titanium, and the gum around them checked for peri-implantitis.

Home Care for Dentures

Every day:

  • Remove dentures at night; tissues need rest
  • Brush the denture with a soft brush and denture cleaner, not toothpaste
  • Brush gums, palate and tongue with a soft brush

Soak in a denture solution overnight; never in hot water, which warps acrylic.

"My wife and I recently visited Yours Dental Hygiene and had a great experience! A special thank you to Eimee—she was exceptionally thorough, gentle, and professional throughout our appointments. The clinic itself is spotless, welcoming, and very well-run. Eimee took the time to explain everything clearly and made sure we were completely comfortable. Highly recommend this clinic."

"I visited this clinic based on a recommendation from a family friend. Booking an appointment was very easy, and I was able to find a time that fit perfectly with my work schedule. I initially went in for a basic dental cleaning and ended up getting a few sealants done as well. The results were a huge improvement, and I was far more satisfied than I had expected. The staff were friendly and highly professional, making the whole experience even better. I would confidently recommend this clinic to anyone."
