How can you whiten dentures?

Answer 1

only way to whiten them is to get new ones with a lighter shade--they will not whiten--im a hygienist and was an asst --been in the field 16 yrs--call your dentist

Answer 2

If you actually want them lighter than they are now, Clorox works. BE CAREFUL. The thing is, it will definitely look brighter and whiter than real teeth if you go too far, so be careful. Use maybe 1 part Clorox to 5 parts (or more) water. Some kinds of red wine seem to do the same thing. At least I've seen a few people over the years who drink a glass or two a day and their dentures get bleached out.

Answer 3

There is no way to make denture teeth any whiter, you can only remove surface stain from them either by over-the-counter Efferdent type products, or by a cleaning in the dental office using a special solution an ultrasonic machine. The denture teeth themselves are never going to improve. Get a new set, and make sure to mention you want a brighter smile.

Answer 4

You can use the same whitening agents that you use for teeth. Whitening toothpaste, Crest White Strips.. anything that you use for real teeth can be used on dentures.

Answer 5

whiten with bleach sounds like a winner

Answer 6

for god's sake, if you're going to use clorox to whiten them, rinse them off with lots of water before you pop them back in your mouth!
