Advantages of Ultrasonic Denture Cleaners

Dentures can provide several advantages and comfort to any one missing teeth. However, just like natural teeth, taking care of them is a big responsibility and calls for a great deal of attention. Obtaining an ultrasonic denture cleaner will certainly help if you're looking for something especially useful to clean and care for your dentures.

Dentures replace teeth for people who have lost them. People lose their teeth for a wide variety of reasons. Thanks to dentures, they can eat and smile without embarrassment. They can take them off after the day is through, clean them before night, and then use them again the following day.

Just like real teeth, these teeth need to be meticulously cleaned to keep them in their best condition. To ensure no debris is left behind, ultrasonic denture cleaners are necessary as traditional methods might not be sufficient. To understand better the various benefits of ultrasonic denture cleaners, here are some top advantages: 

Advantages of Ultrasonic Denture Cleaners

While there are many benefits of using ultrasonic denture cleaners, the most basic advantages can be categorized into three main groups: 

• Efficiency
• Convenience
• Effectiveness
  

1. Efficiency

The cleaning solution in an ultrasonic cleaner's tank is vibrated to effectively remove food, adhesive, and other particles without touching the dentures directly. Along with using tiny bubbles to scrub the dentures in the tank, the vibrations also use shockwaves to remove any lingering biofilm.

Microscopic denture studies prove that conventional approaches, such as brushing and soaking, fall short of removing most germs and detritus. Your dentures' irregular and porous surfaces harbor debris and microbes, which are challenging to clean using conventional techniques.

Unlike traditional cleaning methods, these difficult-to-reach parts of your dentures can be thoroughly cleaned by using an ultrasonic denture cleaner. 

Ultrasonic cleaners produce vibrations with high frequency. Vibrations clean your dentures in two ways:

When vibrating, the liquid is forced up against the surface of your dentures, thoroughly cleaning the device. While being non-abrasive to your dentures, the tiny bubbles created by the cleaner's intense vibration rapidly expand and collapse, releasing significant energy while constantly scouring and smashing biofilm, bacteria, adhesive, and plaque.

Your dentures undergo a quick but thorough cleaning cycle that comprehensively cleans all their surfaces, inside and out.

FAQs

How often should I use an ultrasonic denture cleaner?

While the ultrasonic denture cleaning process can take only 5-15 minutes - it’s worth it. It is ideal to clean your dentures every 24 hours to obtain optimum hygiene. 

Can ultrasonic cleaning damage my dentures?

No, cleaning your dentures with ultrasonic denture cleaners will not harm your dentures, even if you use them daily. But we always recommend you check with your dentist first.

Can ultrasonic cleaning remove all types of stains?

Ultrasonic cleaning alone cannot remove all the stubborn stains caused by tobacco, dark drinks, and certain foods. The powerful vibrations of the ultrasonic cleaners help remove the stains effectively, but only with soak cleaning agents. For best results, we recommend Liquid Crystal disinfecting soak cleanser. 

2. Convenience

Unlike the traditional cleaning methods of dentures that require a visit to the dentist, cleaning your dentures with an ultrasonic denture cleaner and Liquid Crystal is far more convenient and effective. It takes much less time and effort and yields even better results than the traditional methods of denture cleaning. Daily Cleaning of your dentures with an Ultrasonic cleaner and Liquid Crystal, in as little as 5 minutes, will ensure your dentures are both  clean and fresh. 

The process of cleaning your dentures with an ultrasonic denture cleaner is very simple, as it entails just a few basic steps, outlined below: 

• Fill the tank with water and Liquid Crystal.
• Put the dentures in the tank. To get the most benefits of ultrasonic cleaning, your dentures must be entirely submerged in the solution.
• Close the lid on top, set the timer for 5,10, or 15 minutes, and turn the machine on. According to studies, 5 minutes on a  daily basis is ideal. 
• An ultrasonic cleaner is an excellent way to clean conditioners and soft liners, but only for 5 minutes maximum.
• Remove your freshly cleaned and disinfected dentures from the tank. Rinse thoroughly with water.  

Ultrasonic denture cleaners are extremely low maintenance and are worth the price. 

Whatever denture cleaning agent you choose, an ultrasonic cleaner will improve its performance.  For best results, we recommend Liquid Crystal Soak Cleanser.

FAQs

Do I still need to brush my dentures if I use an ultrasonic denture cleaner?

While brushing your dentures before using an ultrasonic denture cleaner is not mandatory, you will achieve the best results if you do. Brushing your dentures before using ultrasonic denture cleaners with  Cleanadent Paste and a Dr. B Denture and Mouth Toothbrush or Cleanadent Wipes will help remove stale adhesive, left over food, as well as biofilm,  making ultrasonic denture cleaners even more effective and efficient

Can I use an ultrasonic denture cleaner if I have dental implants?

Yes but only if you have a removable implant supported snap-in dentures. We always recommend you check with your dentist first.  

Can I use an ultrasonic denture cleaner for partial dentures?

Yes, but confirm with your dentist. 

Can I use an ultrasonic denture cleanser for retainers, aligners, nightguards, mouthguards, and dental airway devices?

Yes, but confirm with your dentist. 

3. Effectiveness

The way ultrasonic denture cleaners vibrate rapidly and produce millions of bubbles instantly starts acting to disperse the plaque and bacterial particles on your dentures. This helps eliminate bacteria and stains from both the outer and inner surfaces of your dentures, which traditional cleaning methods may not reach. As denture odor is mainly caused by pathogen infested buildup in the dentures as well as the mouth, ultrasonic denture cleaners also help eliminate “Denture Breath”. The effectiveness of ultrasonic denture cleaners is demonstrated by the relatively short time required to fully cleanse your dentures of bacteria, stubborn stains, odor, and plaque.

People who struggle with stubborn old buildup of stains, tartar and plaque can easily benefit by using ultrasonic denture cleaners every 24 hours. People who smoke or consume dark drinks and certain foods experience these stains the most. Due to the inability of removing old stains and cleaning the tiny corners and crevices of the dentures, most people opt for ultrasonic denture cleaners for a more thorough denture cleaning experience

Additionally, their life span automatically increases when you care for and maintain your dentures correctly. Bacterial and plaque buildup contribute to wear and tear when dentures are not cleaned properly. With ultrasonic denture cleaners, you can not only clean your dentures correctly but also improve their performance and increase their lifespan greatly.

FAQs

How long does an ultrasonic cleaning cycle take?

The ultrasonic denture cleaning cycle is a minimum of 5 minutes and a maximum of 15 minutes, depending on the denture and liner; one cycle is enough for a thorough denture cleaning. However, the more often you soak your dentures, the better the results. 

Are ultrasonic denture cleaners safe for all types of dentures?

Yes, ultrasonic denture cleaners are safe for all dentures and teeth. However, we always recommend you ask your dentist first 

Can ultrasonic denture cleaners replace professional denture cleaning?

We recommend you see your dentists every 6 months for a check up. But an ultrasonic denture cleaner kit  easily improves on traditional denture cleaning methods. Unfortunately, most people are still unaware of the amazing benefits of this cleaning procedure.

Conclusion

Ultrasonic denture cleaner is a highly effective way to clean your dentures from plaque, bacteria, dirt, odor and stains. These cleaners provide thorough cleaning to your dentures but also help in increasing their lifespan and durability.

The fast, convenient and efficient result and process of using an ultrasonic denture cleaner works far better than traditional and other professional denture cleaning ways. If you want to maintain the cleanest dentures, consider using an ultrasonic denture cleaner from Dr. B Dental Solutions every night to keep your dentures in the most optimum condition.
