When does a Denture Need Replacing

Many people believe that dentures last forever! Dentures should be replaced every five years. Wearing dentures for more than five years with out having them checked could be harmful to your health.

A consultation with your denturist to have your dentures checked and cleaned could prevent problems in the future.

INDICATIONS YOU SHOULD RECOGNIZE

Your face, jaw and tissues change over the years, but your prosthesis does not. Your dentures are made of a stable and rigid material and cannot adapt to these physical changes. Here are some of the signs indicating that your prosthesis should be checked:

sore and irritated tissues
problems with chewing certain foods, indigestion problems
thinning lips, sagging mouth, a change in facial features
loose, falling out when speaking or laughing
has discolored or has an odor
softening of the tissues
headaches, neck, or ear pain
bone (ridge) loss
your partial is kept in your pocket most of the time

These changes happen gradually and are mostly imperceptible to you. Your appearance and comfort are compromised the longer you delay replacing your prosthesis.
