Denture Cleaning & Maintenance

At Flathead Denture, we specialize in professional denture cleaning and maintenance—not teeth cleaning. Regular denture care keeps your dentures fresh, comfortable, and performing their best. Over time, dentures can accumulate buildup and stains that daily brushing can’t remove; professional cleaning helps restore clarity, shine, and hygiene.

We serve patients throughout Kalispell, Columbia Falls, Whitefish, and the Flathead Valley, providing dedicated care focused exclusively on denture maintenance.

Why Professional Denture Cleaning Matters

Even though dentures are not natural teeth, they still need routine cleaning to stay in top condition.
Professional denture cleaning helps:

  • Remove deep stains and plaque that daily brushing misses
  • Eliminate odor-causing buildup
  • Prevent irritation caused by bacteria and food debris
  • Maintain the smooth, polished surface of your denture
  • Extend the lifespan and comfort of your denture

Routine maintenance keeps your denture looking its best and feeling fresh every day.

What We Do During a Denture Cleaning

Our denture-only cleaning service includes:

  • Ultrasonic cleaning to break down buildup
  • Gentle removal of stains and residue
  • Thorough polishing to restore shine and smoothness
  • Inspection for cracks, wear, or changes in fit
  • Want to prevent remaining teeth from shifting or over-erupting
  • Recommendations for care or adjustments if needed

If we notice that your denture no longer fits comfortably, we may suggest a reline or adjustment. Learn
more on our Repairs & Relines page.

When to Schedule a Denture Cleaning

Your dentures may need a professional cleaning if they:

  • Feel sticky, rough, or dull
  • Show visible stains
  • Develop odor that brushing doesn’t fix
  • Haven’t been cleaned professionally in 6–12 months
  • Cause gum irritation or discomfort

A simple maintenance visit can make your dentures feel cleaner, smoother, and much more comfortable.

How to Maintain Your Dentures at Home

To keep your dentures clean between professional visits:

  • Brush your dentures daily with a denture-safe brush
  • Use non-abrasive denture cleaner (never toothpaste)
  • Rinse your denture after meals
  • Soak your denture overnight in water or a denture solution
  • Clean your gums and tongue daily
  • Never use hot water, which can distort your denture

If you notice looseness or irritation, visit our Repairs & Relines page for support.
