How to Maintain Appealing White Dentures

A common complaint made by denture wearers is that after prolonged use of dentures, they eventually lose the original luster or shade of white that was preferred at the time of the original fitting.

Common Denture Whitening Questions:
1. Is there a way to eliminate the yellowish look?
2. Can a toothpaste whitener be used?
3. Can I add some clorox bleach when I clean them?
4. Can I put those whitener strips on them?

There is no way to "whiten" denture teeth beyond what they were new. If they're stained, products including special denture brushes, cleaning pastes, immersion solutions and ultrasonic cleaners can be helpful in restoring their original appearance and to protect against future staining.

Some premium grade denture products enable denture wearers to have the individual teeth replaced with whiter shades of prosthetic teeth.
