Don't use bleach (it will wear away at your denture and make them appear old really fast) try to get an antibacterial solution made for dentures (you can find some at the drugstore) They help to disinfect and make the dentures more white. If you can't find it try the new polident whitening (though it's not that effective from what I heard)

Bleach will damage the plastic on your dentures - possibly making them more brittle. It may also make them taste terrible!
Denture cleaners such as Polident, or Efferdent are the safest thing to use or regular toothpaste with a denture brush. If they are badly stained then take them to a Denture Therapist for a professional cleaning and polish - he/she will also ensure that they still fit right - they may need relining.

BLEACH IS GREAT FOR YOUR SINK AND TOILET, NOT EVER FOR DENTURES. IT WILL RUIN THE ACRYLIC BASE AND GIVE THE DENTURES A TERRIBLE TASTE. USE APPROPRIATE DENTURE CLEANERS.

Bleach might yellow them. Use hydrogen peroxide solution.
