What parts of a cobalt-chrome denture need cleaning?
Remove the denture as instructed, rinse it, brush all surfaces with a soft denture brush and a cleanser recommended for the materials, and clean your natural teeth separately. Store it as directed and do not bend clasps or use abrasive household cleaners.
What can you do if the denture becomes uncomfortable?
Arrange review for cracks, rough metal, loose clasps, sore spots, persistent odor, or difficulty inserting the denture. The dentist or laboratory can adjust fit and inspect the framework without distorting it.
When should a dentist check your cobalt-chrome denture?
Ask which cleanser is compatible with your exact metal and acrylic components. Ask how often the denture and supporting teeth should be checked and whether overnight wear is appropriate for you.
