How Often Should You Replace Your Dentures? Key Lifespan Indicators
Worn-Down Artificial Acrylic Teeth
Over years of chewing, plastic denture teeth flatten, reducing chewing efficiency and causing deep bite collapses that place strain on your jaw joints (TMJ).
Irreversible Staining and Bacterial Porosity
Over time, micro-porosities develop in ageing acrylic bases where deep-seated odours and fungal spores (candida) embed despite daily cleaning.
Key Takeaway
If your dentures are more than 5 years old or require constant adhesive, schedule an evaluation at Preston Dentures.
