Question

Is there a product that will whiten dentures?

Answer 1

Hello...to tell you the truth, there are no "bleaches" that are designed to change the color of denture materials..let me assure you that I spent 42 years creating dental appliances and I have had a great deal of experience with that issue. Many patients have come to my office with dentures that were created out of materials that were not to their liking and  had to sadly inform them that there was nothing to be done about that...However, if the off color is due to organic food stain, smoking, coffee or tea drinking, that can be dealt with....There are any number of drug store products to clean your dentures but you can achieve great cleaning with a home product use probably use everyday...and it's better than most drug store products...It's  "liquid DAWN DISH SOAP"....Take a denture cleaning cup and place 1/8 teaspoon of Liquid Dawn in it, add one table spoon laundry bleach, fill the cup with warm water and stir it well...Place the denture in the cup and let it soak...If the denture is stained really bad you need to let it soak for ten minutes and then remove it and brush it under running water..Place it back in the cup and repeat the procedure until all the stains and tartar are removed...once totally clean this system can be accomplished in ten to fifteen minutes at least once a day....Liquid Dawn is specifically formulated to dissolve organic matter and that is what food stains are...NOW...if your denture, after cleaning, doesn't look the color you want it to...your stuck with it...Who ever made it will have to replace it with materials that meet your requirement...and there are those materials available....Good luck and I wish you well.

Answer 2

actually something like efferdent or polident can help. By putting them inside the water and allowing the tablets to dissolve it helps some. You can also get denture creams / toothpaste made just for them to help clean them.

Also what stained them. Like do you smoke or eat alot or dark foods or drink coffee>

Those things can be lightened by the cleansers.

I know from experiences.

Unfortunately, no, your option, unless all they need is a thorough cleaning, (efferdent will work for that) is to have a new set made in a lighter shade.  Costly, but effective.
