Application Process
How do I apply Cushion Grip?
Applying:
1. Heat the Tube: Place the tube in hot tap water (not boiling) for 5–10 minutes to soften Cushion Grip.
2. Prepare Your Denture: Make sure your denture is clean and completely dry.
3. Apply Cushion Grip: Squeeze out a dime-sized amount and spread it evenly along the denture grooves.
4. Set the Denture: Place the denture in your mouth and bite down firmly for about 1 minute.
5. Let It Set: Remove the denture for 5 minutes, then place it back in your mouth.
6. Wait Before Eating: Wait at least 2 hours before eating or drinking for best results (Small sips are fine during this time.)
How long should I wait to eat, drink, or remove my dentures after applying Cushion Grip?
For best results, wait at least 2 hours before eating, drinking, or removing your dentures. Cushion Grip typically takes 2–6 hours to fully cure, so the longer you wait, the better (Small sips are fine).
Tip: Many of our brand ambassadors apply Cushion Grip before bed, allowing it to cure overnight without interruption.
How can I get further assistance with the application or removal process?
If you have trouble with application or removal, speak with a Brand Ambassador for guidance via our live chat or call 1-800-277-6151. They can walk you through the process.
How far after Extraction Day can I begin using Cushion Grip?
Wait until your extraction site has healed and any discomfort has subsided before using Cushion Grip. Healing times may vary, so it's best to consult your dentist for personalized guidance.
Caution: Avoid using on open sores or cuts in the mouth or gums. Cushion Grip contains small amounts of alcohol and may cause a temporary tingling sensation, similar to mouthwash.

Using Cushion Grip
What should I expect when using Cushion Grip?
Cushion Grip is very much different from creams and pastes. It is a soft, pliable material that must be softened in hot water (not boiling) before application.
After applying, Cushion Grip goes through a curing process, setting as it cools to create a custom fit between your dentures and gums.
Once cured, Cushion Grip provides a snug, secure fit and improves daily comfort and quality of life.
Why does Cushion Grip tingle?
-During application, mild tingling may occur—similar to mouthwash—for a few minutes due to the small amount of alcohol; letting it sit 10 minutes before inserting can reduce this.
Can I soak my dentures with Cushion Grip on them?
Yes, but avoid soaking for the first 24 hours, as this may soften Cushion Grip and reduce its grip. After 24 hours, you can clean and soak as usual. Cushion Grip is waterproof and won’t wash away or break down in water.
Can I use other adhesives or reliners with Cushion Grip?
Cushion Grip is designed to be used alone, but it can be combined with denture adhesive or powder for added security. Wait at least 24 hours after applying Cushion Grip before using other adhesives.
