What is the shelf life of dentures

Have you noticed that your dentures are becoming more and more uncomfortable as you wear them over time? This may be because your dentures have passed their shelf life and need to be replaced. In the case of removable dentures, they are usually replaced after 5 years or more. Active dentures have a limited lifespan, especially full dentures, which generally require a complete overhaul in 35 years, such as relining or resetting, and replacement if necessary. During the warranty period, problems with movable dentures, such as breakage and wear, should be repaired or replaced in a timely manner, and should not be used reluctantly. If the denture is dislodged, broken or chipped, the entire broken piece should be brought to the hospital for examination and repair. Fixed dentures (porcelain teeth, all-ceramic teeth, etc.) are used for a longer period of time, and as long as no discomfort occurs in the mouth, they can generally be used for a lifetime. But no matter which kind of dentures, it is necessary to check in the hospital every other year.
