Cleaning dentures with ultrasound – advantages and instructions
Dentures must be cleaned just as carefully as natural teeth. Food debris, bacteria, and deposits from denture adhesives quickly build up and can impair not only comfort but also oral health. Traditional methods such as brushing, creams, or cleaning tablets have their limitations: they are time-consuming, not always thorough, and can damage the surface. Ultrasonic cleaning offers a modern, thorough, and gentle alternative.
What is ultrasonic cleaning?
Ultrasound devices work with high-frequency sound waves. These create tiny bubbles in the fluid that implode during the cavitation process, dissolving even stubborn deposits. This deeply cleans dentures – even in areas difficult to reach with brushes.
