Denture cream was never going to work. Here's why.

If your denture cream stops holding by lunchtime — it's not your gums. It's not your technique. And it's not because you're using the wrong brand. It's because cream was the wrong method all along. Here's what no one tells you: After you lose your teeth, the jawbone underneath your gums slowly shrinks. It happens to everyone. Year after year, a gap forms between your denture and your gum — and that gap gets wider over time. Cream tries to glue your denture across that gap. But cream dissolves in saliva. It breaks down when you chew. It washes away when you drink a cup of tea. The gap is still there. The cream is gone. And your denture slips again. Fixodent does this. Poligrip does this. Corega does this. The Boots own-brand does this. They all dissolve the same way — because they're all the same thing: chemical adhesive applied to a structural problem. You didn't fail. You were given the wrong tool. Affinera is not a cream. It's a thermoplastic — a solid material that moulds to the exact shape of your mouth and fills the gap cream dissolves across. It doesn't stick. It fits. One application holds for 3–5 days. No reapplying at lunch. No sticky residue to scrub off. No chemical taste. 100% zinc-free. When it's time to remove it, it peels away in one clean piece. Over 90,000 UK denture wearers have already made the switch. Try it risk-free with a 90-day money-back guarantee.
