When Should You Replace Your Dentures?

There is a common misconception that dentures are made to last a lifetime. Thus, most patients wear one set of dentures for too many years before having them replaced!

Like any commodity, dentures will wear out over time. The amount of time your dentures will last will greatly depend on the changes that occur in your mouth and the actual physical wear of your denture. Typically, dentures should be checked at least once a year, and should be remade after 5-10 years, once they lose their fit, or are loose in the mouth.
