A well-made denture lasts for years, but the fit changes before the denture wears out, and Dr. Kim checks it for Bloomingdale patients. Your gums and the bone underneath slowly reshape, so a denture that fit well can start to rock and need a reline every few years. With that routine care and a yearly check, one denture can stay useful for a long time.
A yearly check with the dentist, a reline when the fit loosens, and cleaning the denture every day. Those three habits do more for its lifespan than anything else.
Relines, repairs and implant-supported options are covered on our dentures page.
