FAQ
What is the lifespan of removable dentures?
The service life of removable dentures depends on the type of denture, the materials used, the quality of care and the patient’s characteristics. On average, dentures last 5-7 years. The main reasons why they need to be replaced are as follows:
- material loss (abrasion of the chewing surface);
- changes in the shape of the gums and atrophy of the bone tissue, due to which the denture ceases to fit tightly;
- loss of aesthetic appearance (discolouration, damage).
What are the disadvantages of a complete removable denture?
Removable complete dentures have several disadvantages affecting comfort, aesthetics, and functionality. Here are the main ones:
- weak retention, often requiring the use of creams or gels;
- it takes time to get used to the denture; dentures can rub on the gum;
- can cause soreness or inflammation, especially initially;
- the denture may partially cover the palate, which reduces the sensitivity of the taste buds;
- may cause articulation difficulties in the first few weeks of use.
