How long do Dentures last?

Dentures aren’t a “set-and-forget” solution; they’re more like a partnership with your oral health that needs regular check-ins.

Why Regular Reviews Matter

  • Your gums and jawbone will change over time, especially with tooth loss, which affects fit and function.
  • Poorly fitting dentures can lead to ulcers, infections, and even bone resorption.
  • Materials degrade, teeth stain or wear down, and what once looked and felt natural may need a refresh.

Recommended Timeframes

  • Every 1–2 years: Check-ups for relines or adjustments.
  • 6–8 years: Typical lifespan before full replacement is advised.
  • Beyond 10 years: Risk of serious fit and hygiene issues increases — even if they “still feel fine.”
