Secure Denture Adhesive stands out from conventional denture adhesives due to its unique formulation and performance. Unlike water-soluble adhesives, Secure is completely water-insoluble, meaning it won't wash away while eating or drinking. This ensures a long-lasting, all-day hold from just one application in the morning. Its distinct composition gives it a higher viscosity than traditional adhesives, so only a small amount is needed to create a firm, secure bond. Because of these differences, Secure must be applied differently than typical adhesives, and patients should be shown how to use it properly to maximize effectiveness and comfort.

Secure Denture Adhesive is formulated without zinc to prioritize safety and avoid potential health risks associated with long-term or excessive zinc exposure. While zinc was once a common ingredient in many denture adhesives for its adhesive properties, studies have linked excessive zinc intake—especially from overuse of zinc-containing adhesives—to neurological issues and zinc-copper imbalance. Secure uses a zinc-free, water-insoluble formula that delivers strong, all-day hold without the need for zinc. This ensures reliable performance while minimizing risk, making it a safe choice for daily, long-term use.

Finding the right amount of Secure Denture Adhesive may take a few tries. Start small and adjust as needed—using too much can reduce comfort and effectiveness.Begin with a small amount. Only a little adhesive is usually needed due to its high strength.Adjust gradually. If your dentures don't stay in place all day, slightly increase the amount until you achieve the desired hold.Too much hold? If your dentures remain secure for more than a day, reduce the amount next time.Still holding strong at bedtime? You can leave your dentures in overnight, but be sure to use less adhesive the following day.For extra hold: You may spread a thin, even layer of adhesive across the entire contact area of the denture.Note: Dentures with soft liners may not bond as effectively, so results may vary.

Clean and Dry Dentures Thoroughly: Ensure your dentures are completely clean and dry before applying Secure. The adhesive works best on dry surfaces.Apply Adhesive: Apply Secure in thin strips or a series of dots (refer to diagram), staying away from the edges to prevent overflow. Tip: If the tube feels cold and the adhesive is difficult to squeeze out, warm it in your hands first. You may spread the adhesive lightly with a damp fingertip if needed.Allow Adhesive to Set Briefly: Wait about 30 seconds before inserting your dentures. This allows the alcohol in the formula (used for hygienic purposes) to evaporate.Insert Dentures and Press Firmly: Place the dentures in your mouth and bite down firmly to secure them in place.Wait Before Eating or Drinking: For best results, wait at least 15 minutes before eating or drinking to allow the adhesive to fully set.Close Tube Tightly After Use: To prevent the adhesive from drying out or clogging, reseal the tube immediately after each use.
