Is there a procedure to whiten dentures other than soaking or brushing?

I have dentures that are stained from coffee and smoking is there some type of whiteing that I can get or a dentist can do? If so how expensive is it?

Is there a procedure to whiten dentures other than soaking or brushing?
I worked in a nursing home, and I new a woman who would bleach her dentures once a month. She rinsed them extremely well before she put thewm back in. I was a little leary of this procedure. I wouldn't suggest it.
Reply:it's more difficult because the stuff that whitens normal teeth is made for natural teeth, and not dentures.





you could try these new fancy teeth whitening toothpastes...I think there is one made for dentures now, or always has been...I can't remember...but anyway, that's the only thing I know of.
Reply:maybe you could try two denture tablets at once. see if that helps
Reply:I don't think so. Your dentist can remove the stain for you, but all the whitening products that are used would only etch little holes in the material the teeth are made from. (allowing more stain) If the palate of the denture is comfortable, you could have your dentist send them to the lab and they can remove the old teeth and put new ones on. not as expensive as new dentures!
Reply:It is call "Stain Away", you can find it at Longs and some other CVS stores. It has made my dentures look like new for 26 years now. People think they are my real teeth.
