Can I take my dentures out at night?

It may help you to adjust to your new dentures if you keep them in place for the first few nights, allowing them to settle in. If you decide to keep them in overnight after that, it is important that you clean them thoroughly before you go to bed, just as you would your natural teeth. If you don’t mind leaving them out at night, your mouth and gums will have time to recover from the effort of supporting your dentures during the day, and will experience the soothing effects of your saliva flow. If your are not sure ask your dentist.
