Denture adhesives help keep dentures in place. However, a comparison reveals that not all adhesives work the same way.
We’ll compare Cushion Grip and traditional denture glue. We highlight key differences to help you find the best option.
Traditional Denture Adhesive (Glue)
Traditional denture glue adhesives come in pastes, creams, or powders that create a temporary bond between your dentures and gums. This helps keep dentures in place while eating and speaking.
Cushion Grip Thermoplastic Denture Adhesive
Cushion Grip is a thermoplastic denture adhesive. It works like a soft reliner to refit and tighten dentures. When heated, it becomes pliable. It fills gaps for a snug, comfortable, custom fit.
Cushion Grip helps you temporarily refit and tighten your dentures between dental visits for added comfort and stability.
❗ Note: Cushion Grip is classified as a denture adhesive, but its thermoplastic formula works differently from traditional denture glues.
The Challenges of Using Traditional Denture Adhesives
Denture wearers know the struggles of traditional denture adhesives. These can provide stability. However, messy application and daily cleanup make wearing dentures feel like a chore.
Denture glue can be difficult to apply evenly. It may leave sticky residue or ooze around the edges. Some adhesives leave an unpleasant taste or gritty sensation.
Removing adhesive residue from your mouth and dentures adds another time-consuming step to your routine.
See the Difference Cushion Grip Can Make in Your Quality of Life
Are you frustrated with regular denture glue adhesives? There is a better way to keep dentures secure and comfortable.
Cushion Grip makes eating more comfortable. It provides a secure hold that lasts up to 4 days, eliminating daily application.
Cushion Grip is a thermoplastic denture adhesive. It helps refit and tighten loose dentures for a snug fit.
Once set, you can remove, clean, and soak your dentures. Cushion Grip stays in place. You can eat and drink with confidence.
Feel Secure Knowing Cushion Grip Is Zinc-Free
Zinc is an essential mineral found in many foods. However, it can also be present in some denture adhesives.
Using denture adhesive with zinc may contribute to excessive zinc intake. Frequent reapplication increases the chance of swallowing residue.
Choosing a zinc-free denture adhesive like Cushion Grip eliminates this source of added zinc from your denture routine.
A Better Choice for Denture Adhesive Without Zinc
Feel confident with Cushion Grip’s patented thermoplastic polymer formula that is both waterproof and zinc-free. As your gums naturally change over time, dentures can become loose and uncomfortable. Cushion Grip helps fill the gaps between your dentures and gums, providing a snug, comfortable, custom fit.
Cushion Grip helps dentures feel snug, secure, and comfortably fitted to your gums. It provides a long-lasting hold that keeps your dentures secure for up to 4 days.

Hi! I’m Ashley, a Cushion Grip Brand Ambassador, and I completely understand the frustration, especially since you’ve been using Cushion Grip for so many years! Unfortunately, Cushion Grip is no longer available in physical stores, so it won’t be found on the shelves at Walgreens or other stores.
The good news is that you have a few options besides ordering online. You can call our 1-800 number to place an order over the phone, or you can even mail a check to our manufacturer facility in Miami Lakes, Florida to place an order. Cushion Grip is also available through Amazon and Walmart.com, and we have brand protection in place on both platforms to help protect customers from imitation products.
I know being able to simply walk into a store and pick up a tube would be much more convenient, and I completely understand why you and other longtime users would like to see it back on store shelves. If you have any questions or need help with ordering, I’d be more than happy to help!
Hi! I’m Ashley, a Cushion Grip Brand Ambassador and that’s a great question! Cushion Grip isn’t a glue, so it doesn’t need to be reapplied every day. Once it cures, it creates a new mold inside your denture that conforms to the shape of your mouth and helps the denture fit more comfortably and securely.
It isn’t meant to stick your denture to your gums like traditional denture adhesive. Instead, it works with your mouth’s natural suction to help keep the denture securely in place rather than depending on a glue. That’s why you can keep the same application for much longer than a traditional denture glue that needs reaplying daily.
Hi! I’m Ashley, a Cushion Grip Brand Ambassador. You’re absolutely right that traditional denture adhesives are generally something that needs to be reapplied daily because they work more like a glue to help hold/stick the denture in place.
Cushion Grip is different because it isn’t a glue. It creates a new, more comfortable mold inside the denture that conforms to the shape of your mouth and helps the denture or partial fit more securely through suction rather than relying on glue.
I personally can wear one application for much longer than suggested on the box before it needs to be replaced, and it has been a complete game changer for me. I’d be happy to help with any other questions you may have!
Hi! I’m Ashley, a Cushion Grip Brand Ambassador. I completely understand your concern, especially after having a negative purchasing experience with another seller. I’m so sorry you had to deal with that. There were some imitation products being sold online a while back in packaging claiming to be Cushion Grip, but the product inside was runny and did not perform at all like the genuine product.
We have since obtained brand protection on Amazon and Walmart in the U.S. to help protect customers from these types of products. The safest and most direct option is to purchase Cushion Grip right here on our website. US Pharma Ltd. is actually the manufacturer of Cushion Grip, so when you purchase directly from this website, you are buying directly from the company that manufactures the product.
You can feel confident that you’re getting the genuine Cushion Grip when you order directly from us or one of our brand protected platforms. If you have any other questions before ordering, I’d be happy to help!
