How long can dentures last?

The frequency of installing dentures is relatively high among the elderly population. Due to physiological uncontrollable factors, the teeth of the elderly fall out naturally, so installing dentures is no longer a rare thing. When installing dentures, people are most concerned about three aspects. The first is the effect of the dentures, the second is the cost of installing dentures, and the third is of course how long the dentures can maintain their effect.

How long is the service life of dentures? Generally speaking, the service life of removable dentures is 5-6 years, while the service life of fixed dentures can reach ten years or even dozens of years. Dentures have a certain service life not only because dentures may experience problems such as wear and loosening during use, but mainly due to the complexity of the oral environment and people's alveolar bone is in constant change, which affects the service life of dentures.

Many friends often ignore the reasons why doctors are important, and focus on the scale, grade, quality of equipment and materials used in porcelain teeth of the hospital or clinic. They often only care about what kind of porcelain teeth they have and whether they contain nickel, but pay less attention to the doctor's skills. In addition, the doctor's trimming of teeth is the first step in the production of porcelain braces, because whether the doctor's trimming of the patient's teeth is in place, whether the mold is accurate and tilted will affect the retention time of the porcelain braces after they are put on the teeth. In addition, if the doctor does not perform adequate repairs during the crown and bridge repair process of the porcelain braces, it will lead to uneven force on the teeth when chewing, causing the deep roots of the teeth to loosen over time and cause inflammation, which will directly affect the use time of the porcelain braces.

In fact, personal oral care and porcelain braces maintenance are also important factors affecting the usage time of porcelain braces. Good materials have good physical and chemical properties and stability, which we call biocompatibility. The metal inner layer of porcelain teeth is in close contact with the soft and hard tissues of the oral cavity. The performance of porcelain teeth directly affects the physiological health of the oral cavity. Metals with good biocompatibility can coexist peacefully with the soft and hard tissues of the oral cavity and coordinate and harmonize with the human body. Metals with poor biocompatibility can cause adverse stimulation to surrounding tissues, resulting in allergies, corrosion, metal ion leakage, etc., which may lead to gingivitis, periodontitis, black lines on the gingival margin, bad breath, etc. These will affect the life of porcelain teeth.

In fact, personal oral care and porcelain braces maintenance are also important factors affecting the usage time of porcelain braces. Patients' careful care of porcelain teeth can extend their life. There is definitely a difference between eating cake with porcelain teeth every day and eating pecans with them every day. Therefore, you should be more careful when eating after wearing porcelain teeth and avoid eating hard foods. Pay attention to oral hygiene, brush your teeth carefully, and go to the hospital for teeth cleaning regularly. If you use porcelain teeth to bite hard objects, or do not pay attention to oral hygiene, the porcelain teeth will die early.
