I was in a car wreck and had to get top dentures and my dentist said to go out and by this stuff. I didn't understand it at first but the second time I got it. It says to stay in 4 days. I let mine stay in for a month at a time. I just brush them 2 x a day and soak them over night. This is not an adhesive. It is a liner that moldes to the fit of your mouth and hardens that way. And the suction makes it stay in place. Mind never come out by accadent and I don't have to use any of the nasty pasts or powders. This is th only thing that I will use. I have been using it now for 4 years and no one but my husband knows I havce dentures. Give it a try and youll love it.

After having implants (twice) over the years with all kinds of problems and lots of money spent eating was a nightmare. Even after bone implants I still have nothing to hold bottom dentures. No more. It does burn a little and it takes a little time to learn to use. I haven't been able to get it to work on top denture, but it was not much of a problem. I'm just happy I can eat and only have to replace Cushion every four days!

Difficult to remove from denture !

    Comments about Cushion Grip Thermoplastic Denture Adhesive, 1 oz:

    Product dries hard and does hold up to overnight soaking. The hardness makes it easy to remove denture and rinse mouth after eating but requires a hot water rinse to soften adhesive enough to allow it to form back to the shape of your mouth.. Does not collect food particles as other denture adhesives do.

    The worst thing is trying to remove the adhesive from the denture. It does not soak off but must be peeled off and comes off in small pieces. It requires the use of an orange stick to pry it loose from the denture. Time consuming and a lot of trouble.

        Comments about Cushion Grip Thermoplastic Denture Adhesive, 1 oz:

        Having tried Cushion Grip several times, because it sure does make denture-wearing a lot more comfortable, the stuff is useless. I have tried it in every way possible--letting it sit awhile after applying, letting it sit overnight after applying, inserting dentures immediately after applying, and even applying another paste over top of Cushion Grip just to get dentures to stay put. I've applied it thin and I've applied it thick.

        The only thing that has worked is applying another paste, like Secure, over top of the layer of Cushion Grip. I then clean as usual to remove the top layer of paste, because cleaner does't remove Cushion Grip, and then I reapply the Secure or Fixodent or whatever again over top of the Cushion Grip. But then, after a month or so, when I need also to remove the Cushion Grip, it's almost impossible to remove it. Last time took three hours of hot soaking and use of wooden kabob sticks to scrape it all out.

        After that I've not tried Cushion Grip again. Now I'm using only the Secure. And I'm using that only at times I have to wear dentures for the sake of appearances. I still can't eat while wearing dentures, but most especially not when I've tried Cushion Grip.

            I always want to have this on hand. I don't use it all the time, but quite often when I have the need for it. It goes on easily, does the job, and is removed easily. I don't find anything that I can say isn't great about it. It fits my needs.

                It didn't hold my dentures in place. They remained loose and I was unable to chew. It's time consuming to remove, I'll stick to the pastes. My gums felt like they were on fire as soon as it made contact with my mouth. It did go away several minutes after I removed them. Don't waste your money on this product.

                  Comments about Cushion Grip Thermoplastic Denture Adhesive, 1 oz:

                  I sure wish Cushion Grip worked, because it feels so nice against the gums. But it's not an adhesive, as claimed on the package. I could just barely use it so long as I never ate anything. But as soon as I bite down on any kind of food at all, my dentures fall out. Cushion Grip just doesn't work, and I've tried it out in every possible recommended way--from waiting longer for it to dry after application to waiting a few hours before even trying to eat anything. In any event, neither of those things is desirable in a serious denture paste. I've even used Cushion Grip as a base, atop which I've put Fixodent. That works alright, but then try removing the Cushion Grip after a month or two of doing that. It took me three hours to get out the old Cushion Grip and several fingernails were sacrificed in the process. Sadly, Cushion Grip is good for absolutely nothing. And it's way over-priced too.

                      This stuff is not messy and short lived like other denture adhesives. Thermo grip is more like a soft reline than a fixative. And it lasts much longer than they say. Weeks, in fact. Anybody can do it, even me!

                              After several years and many dentist appointments my third? full upper and second part lower still do not fit well. (I am handicapped and it is a real hardship to get to the dentist) The lower DOES fit better but, the upper plate (no matter what I have used to hold them in place) becomes loose in several hours and even less if, I have to chew anything. I found this product while trying to find a different gripper (I had been using Fixodent both powder and cream and found that all their denture products contain zinc) I also found that I am allergic to the goo that the dentist used to help do the same type of cushioning before making a new plate. GLAD I FOUND THIS PRODUCT!!! The first time was a little iffy making sure I followed the instructions exactly. I WANTED IT TO WORK!! And, IT DOES!! I still have to use the Poligrip FREE Cream but, it lasts much longer TIP: I use a sharp hooked sculpting utensil from an art or craft store (one of the Kemper Tools)to remove the Cushion Grip. This one is hooked on one end so it does not scratch the denture but, it makes it easier to remove it. This helps LOTS!
