What's the Best Denture Adhesive?

 

Denture adhesives refer to products designed to stabilize loose dentures, i.e., make them a bit tighter. They help reduce denture movement while smiling, talking etc, which improves confidence, reduces irritation, and food trapping.

 

Available options

 

Designers have created a number of different products that are aimed at improving denture stability. Below are popular examples:

 

Thermoplastic denture adhesive is the most common denture adhesives. Creams attach dentures to gums, serving as temporary 'glue'. Although cream adhesives normally offer the strongest grip, many people don't like the hassle of ridding glue off the dentures and mouth.

 

Also called 'sheets', the purpose of wafers is to cover all of the fitting surface. However, using wafers requires that you purchase separate sheets for both dentures. With their dual-stick sides, dentures firmly attach to the mouth. However, wafers, unlike creams, don't form a barrier that prevents food from getting stuck between gums and dentures.

Strips are easy to use and dispose, and less messy than creams. They can be comfortable due to the additional cushion they offer between dentures and gums, and like wafers, they don't prevent food trapping between gums and dentures.

 

Denture adhesive cream works with natural moisture inside the mouth to create a sticky paste like cream, which is less messy and washes off easily. However, powder is less effective than cream, so its dentures can be less effective.

 

Top denture adhesive

 

There are different strengths and qualities when it comes to denture adhesives. However, here are four of the best denture adhesives on the market.

 

Secure Denture Adhesive

 

Secure is a non-soluble brand that offers a lasting, extra strong bond between dentures and gums. It's available in two varieties: adhesive cushion strips and adhesive cream.

 

Sea-Bond Adhesive

 

Sea-Bond comes in strip form. It is easy to apply and has odor-fighting ingredients to help keep your breath fresh while wearing dentures.

 

Super Poligrip Adhesive

 

Super Poligrip consists of comfortable strips that firmly hold the dentures all day long. Also, Super Poligrip has a super tight grip, which provides a barrier for preventing food trapping between gums and dentures.

 

Fixodent Control Adhesive

 

Fixodent Control is marketed as a cream. The product is extremely effective and even if used sparingly, the grip is firm. This denture adhesive provides a strong barrier that allows you to socialize, eat and drink comfortably.

 

So what's the best brand of denture adhesive? The easy answer is there's no best brand as different brands work for different people. Some people prefer creams, and have their own favorite, others go for denture powder, and some love the wafer sheets.

 

If you're not used to these brands, you should perhaps use creams first, but make sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions. They're relatively cheaper, so you can try some out as you go along.
