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.

Hi! I’m Ashley, a Cushion Grip Brand Ambassador, and I’m sorry you’re having trouble with it. Cushion Grip works a little differently than traditional denture adhesive. It’s more like a soft reline that creates a new mold inside your denture for a better fit, rather than a glue that sticks your dentures to your gums.

It actually took me a few tries to get the application right when I first started using it, so I completely understand the frustration. The goal is to create that custom mold inside the denture so it fits your gums more securely. If you’re used to the extra security of traditional denture glue, you may still need a small amount of your regular adhesive along with Cushion Grip, especially on the lower denture.

I’d be happy to help you troubleshoot the application and try again. If you’d like, let me know what type of dentures you have and where you’re having the most trouble with them staying in, and I can walk you through it.
