While you can sleep with dentures, it’s recommended to remove them at night. This gives your gums and jaw a chance to rest and allows for proper cleaning of your dentures, gums, and any remaining natural teeth.
Well-fitting top dentures should create light suction with your gums, and bottom dentures should sit comfortably without sliding. Partial dentures should align well with your natural teeth. Implant-supported dentures should feel secure and snap into place. If your dentures feel loose or cause irritation, book an appointment for a professional fit check.
Once adjusted, you can eat most foods. However, be cautious with hard, sticky, or crunchy items like caramel, raw carrots, tough meats, popcorn, and seeded crackers. These may cause irritation or damage and are best enjoyed in moderation.
