How long is the service life of dentures

Many people have experienced that dental problems are very painful, affecting our normal diet and pronunciation, and have a great impact on our image.

This will bring us pain again and often form certain psychological barriers. Let's learn about how long the service life of dentures is.

How long do dentures last?

How long is the lifespan of removable dentures? The service life of removable dentures mainly depends on the restoration technology. If the doctor has good restoration skills and rich clinical experience when performing removable denture treatment in the hospital, then, to a certain extent, the success rate of removable denture restoration may be improved, and the service life of the denture can be extended to achieve the best restoration state. Basically, the service life of removable dentures is relatively long, ranging from a few years to more than ten years.

Removable dentures usually need to be replaced after being used for more than 5 years. During the "shelf life", if removable dentures have problems such as breakage, wear, etc., they should be repaired or replaced in time. Do not force them to use, so as not to damage natural teeth or other oral tissues. If a denture falls off, breaks or becomes chipped, all broken pieces should be taken to the hospital for examination and repair.

How long is the lifespan of removable dentures? Another important factor that affects the service life of removable dentures is the choice of denture material. There are many denture materials available nowadays, but many of the materials provided by hospitals are not the best, and some are even "substandard"! Therefore, you must pay more attention when choosing materials. Because the material itself not only affects the workmanship of dentures, but also directly affects the health of the patient himself.

In order to check the "breaking-in" of the dentures and the oral cavity, new dentures need to be checked within a week. If you experience any discomfort, you need to go to the hospital as soon as possible and ask a dentist to make adjustments. After getting dentures, you need to learn how to maintain them to extend their useful life.

The above is an introduction to how long the service life of dentures is. After understanding it, we know that the lifespan of fixed dentures is generally relatively longer, and removable dentures are generally replaced every five years. In addition, the service life of dentures is also related to our daily care.
