What Are Dentures?

Dentures are used as a tooth replacement option. They come in different forms and can be permanently secured with the help of a dental implant. The teeth are attached to a gum-like base that is secured around the jawbone. They are a vital way to allow patients the freedom to enjoy eating and speaking comfortably.

How Often Do Dentures Need to Be Replaced?

It is natural for our gums and mouth to change shape over time as we age. Since dentures are custom to perfectly fit each smile, they will need to be replaced if the smile shifts with time. Dentures that do not properly fit can lead to severe issues such as mouth sores and infections. It is typically recommended to replace dentures every 5-7 years.
