Whether or not you choose to leave your dentures out at night depends on your personal situation.
While some patients choose to leave their denture out at night, others prefer to continue wearing the denture while they sleep. We recommend doing whatever is most comfortable for you.
In some cases, wearing your denture at night may be beneficial, helping to protect your remaining teeth and gums during sleep. If in doubt, your prosthetist will be able to help you decide which option is best for you.
If you do choose to leave the denture in at night, make sure to clean it properly beforehand to prevent a build-up of bacteria in your mouth while you sleep (much like with your natural teeth).
If in the morning you often find your denture have fallen out of your mouth during the night it may be best to start removing them before bed instead, to avoid accidently dropping or crushing them in the night.
