FAQs
What are dentures?
Dentures are removable dental appliances used to replace missing teeth and surrounding tissues. They consist of artificial teeth set in a gum-coloured base. Dentures are custom-made to fit each patient’s mouth and can be full (for complete tooth loss) or partial (for some remaining natural teeth). They restore oral functionality and aesthetics, allowing individuals to speak, eat, and smile with confidence. Dentures require regular cleaning and maintenance and may need adjustments over time.
How do dentures stay in place?
Dentures stay in place through suction created between the denture and the gums or palate, the use of denture adhesives, and the support from the oral muscles and tongue.
How long do dentures last?
The lifespan of dentures can vary depending on several factors, including the quality of materials, how well they are cared for, and changes in oral health over time. On average, dentures can last between 5 and 10 years. However, it’s important to note that dentures may require adjustments or relining during this period to maintain a proper fit as the gums and jawbone naturally change over time.
Factors that can affect the longevity of dentures include:
1. Wear and Tear: Daily use of dentures for activities like eating and speaking can cause gradual wear and tear. Over time, this can affect the fit and function of the dentures.
2. Changes in Oral Structures: The shape of the gums and jawbone can change over time, leading to changes in the fit of the dentures. This may necessitate adjustments or relining to ensure a proper fit.
3. Oral Care and Maintenance: Proper care and maintenance of dentures play a significant role in their longevity. Regular cleaning, avoiding abrasive cleaning materials, and following recommended care instructions from your dentist or prosthodontist can help extend the lifespan of dentures.
4. Natural Wear of Denture Materials: The materials used in denture fabrication can undergo natural wear and may become less effective over time. This can impact the fit and function of the dentures.
It’s important to schedule regular dental checkups, even if you have dentures. Your dentist will evaluate the condition of your dentures, check the fit, and make any necessary adjustments or recommendations for replacement. If you experience any discomfort, a change in fit, or other issues with your dentures, it’s best to consult your dentist for guidance.
