How Many Hours a Day Should I Wear My Dentures?
According to most dentists, the recommended period of time to wear dentures each day would be 8-12 hrs. depending on the individual's comfort level and overall oral health. It is advised to remove dentures before bedtime, allowing the gums to heal and recover overnight. Continuous wearing (day and night) without removing them can lead to serious complications of irritation, as well as infections (e.g., denture stomatitis).
