Step-by-Step Application Guide

Preparing Your Dentures

  1. Clean your dentures with soap and water using a soft denture brush
  2. Dry thoroughly and place on a soft towel
  3. Place the Denttach tube in a glass of hot water (45-50°C/113-122°F, comfortable to touch but not boiling) for 5 minutes, with cap facing down
  4. Remove the tube from water and dry both your hands and the tube thoroughly

Applying to Lower Denture

  1. Insert your upper denture first to help guide proper positioning
  2. Squeeze out a ball of Denttach about 2.5cm in diameter
  3. Roll it into a sausage shape
  4. Press evenly into the lower denture groove where it sits on your gums
  5. Moisten your lower gums with your tongue
  6. Insert the lower denture, biting down gently but firmly
  7. Move your jaw side to side until the denture feels secure and comfortable

Applying to Upper Denture

  1. Remove and thoroughly dry your upper denture
  2. Squeeze out another 2.5cm ball of Denttach
  3. Spread evenly over the entire surface area where the denture contacts your palate
  4. Avoid the gum and tooth area
  5. Moisten your palate and upper gums with your tongue
  6. Insert the denture and bite down gently but firmly
  7. Move your jaw side to side slightly to ensure proper seating

Removal and Maintenance

Removing Denttach

  • After 7 days, soak dentures in hot water for about 5 minutes
  • Gently peel off old Denttach using fingers or a wooden skewer
  • Don't leave Denttach on longer than 7 days as it will harden and become difficult to remove

Daily Care

  • First 24 hours: Rinse with cold water only and brush gently
  • After 24 hours: Brush normally with denture toothbrush and paste
  • Use cold or tepid water only - hot water will reactivate the Denttach
  • For cleaning, use only fast-acting denture tablets (3-15 minutes)
  • Avoid overnight soaking or extended periods in cleaning solution

Tips and Tricks

  • Denttach works best on completely dry dentures
  • Using too little won't provide adequate hold; using too much is wasteful
  • Replace cap tightly after use to prevent product from hardening
  • Store tube at room temperature
  • Shelf life: 24 months unopened, 6 months after opening
  • If Denttach gets on clothing or surfaces, allow it to dry completely then gently peel off

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is Denttach best suited for?

Denttach is designed as a temporary reline solution, not a denture adhesive or glue. It works best for:
  • People whose dentures used to fit well but have become loose due to gum shrinkage
  • Dentures that need adjustment due to natural changes in your mouth over time
  • Filling gaps that have developed between your dentures and gums


Important: Denttach cannot fix dentures that have never fit properly. If you have new dentures that don't fit correctly, please consult your dental professional for proper adjustments rather than trying to fix the fit with Denttach.

How does Denttach work?

Unlike traditional denture adhesives that work by sticking dentures to your gums, Denttach works by filling in the spaces between your dentures and gums that have developed over time. This helps restore suction and improve the fit of previously well-fitting dentures that have become loose due to natural gum shrinkage.

How long does Denttach last?

One application lasts up to 7 days with proper care.

Can I clean my dentures while wearing Denttach?

Yes, Denttach is 100% waterproof. You can perform normal daily cleaning without compromising the adhesive.

Can I soak my dentures with Denttach applied?

Use only fast-acting denture cleansing tablets for 3-15 minutes. Avoid extended soaking as it may weaken the adhesive.

What if I experience discomfort?

While a brief tingly sensation is normal, persistent discomfort should be reported to your dental professional.
