How many years can dentures last?

In life, many elderly people often do not have a clear goal when choosing dentures. For example, what material should dentures be made of? How many years can the selected dentures last? What is the price range for dentures? Taking all factors into consideration, the choices of each elderly person will be different, so when choosing, you can consider various aspects such as the elderly’s age, physique, economic conditions, etc., so that you can choose more suitable dentures.

1. Generally speaking, as long as the abutment teeth are in good condition, the design is reasonable, the production is in accordance with the anatomical requirements, the materials used also meet the requirements of biological models, the patient is in good physical condition, the remaining teeth have no periodontal and dental lesions, the alveolar bone absorption in the defective area is not obvious, and the dentures are well cared for, they can be used for more than 10 years or even more than 20 years.

2. Due to various reasons, some people only wear dentures for a few years, while some people only wear them for a few months before problems arise. Most of the time, there are problems with the abutment teeth or other teeth, followed by quality issues of materials, and then technical issues in manufacturing. Fixed dentures need to be removed for processing, or removable dentures need to be replaced.

3. Finally, the service life of removable dentures is closely related to the doctor's operating level. Removable dentures made by doctors with rich clinical experience in oral restoration, advanced equipment and standardized operations can certainly be used for a long time. On the contrary, if removable dentures are made in small, non-standard dental clinics, the quality cannot be guaranteed.

Fixed dentures and removable dentures (invisible dentures are a type of removable dentures) each have their own advantages and disadvantages. From the perspective of comfort, fixed dentures are definitely much more comfortable. The service life of invisible dentures is not only related to the material, but also has a lot to do with your usage habits. If you use them with care, there will be no problem for 7 to 8 years.

When choosing dentures, how many years they can last is also the most frequently asked question by many people. Because the initial use of dentures requires a period of adjustment with the human gums. Once people get used to using the dentures, they will develop a certain degree of dependence. Therefore, most people will choose denture materials with long lifespan, which can reduce multiple running-in times and are easier to use.
