How long do removable dentures last?

The lifespan of removable dentures can vary depending on a variety of factors, including the quality of the denture, how well it is cared for, and the individual's oral health.

On average, removable dentures can last between 5 to 8 years before they need to be replaced or repaired. However, some well-maintained dentures can last much longer, up to 10 to 15 years or more.

It's important to note that over time, the shape of your mouth can change, which can affect the fit of your dentures. This may cause discomfort, difficulty chewing or speaking, and can also lead to oral health issues.

Therefore, it's recommended to have regular dental checkups and adjustments to your removable dentures as needed to ensure optimal fit and function.
