If the dentures are not causing you problems, leave them in. If they are interfering with the breaths or are loose and may lodge in the throat, you will need to remove them.
Every 5 Years your Dentures should be adjusted and realined. Failing to do so will cause your Jaw Bone to begin to receed at a advanced rate. This is exspensive yes, but a must have if you wear dentures.
collagen fibers are part of the bone tissue
George Washington, sorry no wooden teeth ever.....
That's because of bone loss-you could see if implant supported are doable-still takes a certain amount of bone but much better than regular dentures and you only need about 4 implants per arch
no , not as long as you have a jaw bone.

The cost of dentures is $400 What is the cost of dentures?
I wish I knew whether it was a general dentist that you talked to or someone who specializes in dentures? There are a few reasons that you may be having a problem: your dentures need to be relined, your bone has eroded and your dentures have nothing to "grab" (that is a problem I had) or the dentures were made improperly. I found a place for you to go to for a free consultation. If the determination is that your bone has receded you may have to get some implants put in to hold your dentures in place (they're great even though not the most fun procedure I've ever had lol).

Implant dentures are better than regular dentures but it there is a catch. The catch about the Implant dentures are they are more expensive than the regular dentures.
Dentures on implants are when an oral surgeon places posts inside the bone and the denture is screwed to the implants. The denture is then not removable, except by a dentist. This usually done on lower dentures for patients that do not have a lot of bone and do not tolerate a lower denture well.ANOTHER ANSWER:The denture is removable because the denture rests on the implants, which typically snap into the denture, holding the denture securely. The denture can and should be removed daily for cleaning.
do you repair dentures?
