Can I Sleep With My Snap-In Denture?

In this video, Dr. Lilian Jaime explains an important daily habit many snap-in denture wearers overlook and how it affects oral health.

We recommend removing your dentures at least twice a day, once in the morning and once at night, to clean them and then place them back in.

You can sleep with your snap-in denture if needed. However, before going to bed, it is important to make sure both the implants and the denture are thoroughly cleaned to maintain good oral health.
