Super Poligrip promises to offer an all-day hold that also keeps food particles from getting under your dentures. In fact, the cream seals out up to 74 percent more food particles, compared to not using a cream at all. Plus, the hold lasts 12 hours, so you shouldn’t need to readjust your dentures or reapply the product.

The formula has a fresh mint flavor and contains no zinc. Denture wearers who prefer a cleaner flavor might like Super Poligrip, but it might be a bit much for those who prefer tasteless creams or powders. Think about when you put your dentures in and whether the mint taste will affect your next meal time before buying this adhesive cream.

With such a strong grip, Super Poligrip can be challenging to remove at bedtime. You may need to spend extra time removing residue after a day of wearing it. However, for many consumers, this is a plus. If you would rather have the peace of mind that your dentures will stay in rather than worrying about the grip loosening, Poligrip is an excellent choice.

Pros
• 12-hour hold
• Won’t loosen throughout the day
• Mint flavor is appealing

Cons
• Can leave residue after
• Application can be messy

The Sea Bond Denture Adhesive brand claims to give you an all-day hold on your dentures, though the sticking strength may not be as great as cream style adhesives. Sea Bond’s denture applicators are stickers that will attach to the inside of your dentures. In contrast with cream, Sea Bond’s adhesives are cleaner to use and far easier to apply in many cases.

The stickers, however, may not adhere as well as a cream could. But if you prefer a simple application with no paste-like textures, you may like the sticker-style adhesive.

The adhesive is inserted into your denture, providing a comfortable cushion. A soft-feel prevents irritation that other denture adhesives may provide.

The Sea Bond Denture Adhesives are available in a 4 pack or as many as a 30 pack if you would like to stock up. You also have the option of choosing either mint or original, so whether you want flavorless or flavorful, you can find the right fit.

Pros
• Easy to apply
• Flavor options
• No mess

Cons
• May not last all day
• The fit isn’t customized

The Cushion-Grip denture adhesive has a paste-like consistency but it’s actually a thermoplastic polymer. Unlike creams, it layers inside your dentures with less ‘squish.’ Cushion Grip claims to last as much as four times longer than other adhesives of its kind.

According to the manufacturer, Cushion Grip will hold your dentures in place for up to four entire days. That’s an impressive feat for any denture adhesive, and for many people, this is the biggest selling point. If you dislike removing your dentures each night before bed, and applying adhesive again in the morning, you might want to give Cushion Grip a try.

The material also provides for a soft and light feel in the mouth to not irritate gums and mouth. The adhesive is zinc-free and non-toxic. It is also waterproof, ensuring you will not face any issues throughout the day.

One drawback is that the company itself says there’s a learning curve involved. You might need to practice applying the perfect amount of Cushion Grip to get the right fit, which could mean wasted product.

Pros
• Soft feel
• Extremely long hold

Cons
• A learning curve applies

Fixodent is a denture adhesive that features a fine-tipped applicator to ensure that the application reaches all corners. Since Fixodent contains Scope, this is an excellent denture adhesive for anyone who wants that fresh-mouth feel. But it’s also ideal for helping to prevent bad breath and eliminate bacteria.

Fixodent is also a #1 dentist recommended denture adhesive amongst dentists who recommend denture adhesives to their patients. With an all-day hold, Fixodent could be a great option if you need a one-time application; the manufacturer recommends that you only use one application per day.

Pros
• Fresh flavor
• Fights bad breath
• Simple application

Cons
• Not advisable to use more than once per day

Fixodent Extra Hold Powder adhesive can be applied to your dentures for an airtight hold that promises to last all day. Denture wearers may need a more comprehensive nighttime routine to remove the residue after use, however.

Since the formula is powder, you won’t need to worry about oozing or over-application in the way you would with creams. The application process is a bit more involved, however. You’ll need to use either saliva or water to wet the clean denture, then place the powder and apply it in your mouth.

Some dusty residue may occur while you’re applying your dentures, but a quick rinse can help clear out any grit. Many denture wearers prefer powder because it offers a more secure, less goopy application. If powder sounds like it’s doable for you, Fixodent is an excellent choice.

Pros
• #1 dentist recommended adhesive
• Easy to apply
• Airtight seal

Cons
• May be challenging to remove

The Denture Adhesive Cushion is slightly different from others of its kind as it is a padded foam material with a sticky edge. You will fit the adhesive to your dentures by cutting the shape to match. It's especially useful for those with narrow gums that may have issues with other denture adhesives.

The denture adhesive cushions will last you all day, though it's recommended you remove them before bed. Once you cut the adhesive to fit, you will soak them in water for 30 seconds before applying to your dentures. If a personalized fit is a priority, you might find the intensive application process is worth the extra time.

The cushiony nature of this adhesive provides security and comfort—your gums will not get irritated, and you can be positive your dentures will stay in place. Each package includes adhesives for both your top and bottom dentures.

Pros
• Minimal clean-up
• Cushion for support
• All-day hold

Cons
• Not the fastest application

The Secure Sensitive Gums denture adhesive version is special as it caters to those that may be easily irritated. Soothing aloe vera and myrrh help eliminate irritation in your mouth, without any harsh ingredients or flavors.

One highlight of Secure Sensitive is that a very small amount goes a long way. You may experience less oozing and goop since a single squeeze of the tube can keep your dentures in all day.

Of course, you may not see the same competitively long-lasting results from Secure as you might with alternative brands. However, the product claims to stay for 12 hours, and you might hit that target with proper application.

Pros
• Aloe vera and myrrh for sensitive gums
• Very little cream necessary for hold

Cons
• May not last as long as claimed

The Secure Waterproof Adhesive is a denture adhesive that is applied as a cream to your denture that promises as long as a 12-hour hold. The adhesive claims there will be no slipping or moving of your denture at all throughout the day.

A completely flavorless adhesive means your denture adhesive won’t disrupt your meals, and the holding power promises to last through meals. Secure is also zinc-free yet waterproof and promises to keep your dentures in position throughout the day. However, removal can be challenging. Since the adhesive is so secure, your evening routine may involve extra soaking and brushing to remove residue.

Pros
• Waterproof and zinc-free
• Flavorless
• Tube lasts a long time

Cons
• Leaves residue that’s tough to remove
• Some wearers may experience burning

Poligrip strips are peel-away strips containing an adhesive on one side. They are pre-cut in strips, so there’s no ooze or figuring out the right amount of product to use. Application is faster, too, since it’s a brief soak then peel-and-stick process.

Unlike other adhesive sticker options, Poligrip strips don’t need trimming or sizing. You apply as many strips as necessary to cover the denture surface, then place the dentures in your mouth. While you can’t overlap strips, you can cut them for an even more customized fit.

Poligrip says these will last all day, but the timeline can vary depending on your denture style, what you eat or drink, and other factors.

Pros
• Easy application
• Can use on the go as needed
• Can modify to fit

Cons
• May not last all day

Poligrip is another adhesive powder option that is less messy than creams but offers staying power. It has no zinc, and you can shake or spray the powder onto your dentures. You’ll appreciate the strength of the adhesion, but also the fact that any residue comes off easily at the end of the day.

The flavorless formula is a highlight for anyone who doesn’t want to wait around for mint flavor to wear off. Because the strength of Poligrip powder is impressive, you can eat and drink like normal without worrying about slippage.

One potential drawback is that while powder isn’t as goopy as tube-type adhesives, it can take some practice to get a good fit. You will need a bit of extra time to work with the powder and rinse any grittiness after putting your dentures in.

Pros
• Easy to clean off at the end of the day
• Long staying power

Cons
• Powder application can take a bit of time
