How long should the average full upper denture last?

Answer 1

If you look after it then it should last you for the rest of your life, but this means seeing your dentist every 6 months to once a year to have your remaining teeth cleaned and have your partial checked for any weak points. I had my partials for 25 years, but decided I wanted to get new ones that clicked behind my eye teeth instead of a wire up by the gum of my eye teeth. I take good care of my teeth, but unfortunately, genetics has a part in whether you have strong or weak teeth. I have never regretted getting my partials and take good care of them and see my dentist every 6 months.

Answer 2

Answer 3

With proper care and maintenance, a full upper denture should last many years, even decades in some cases. However, there are many factors that can affect the useful life of a denture.

1. Dentures are fragile. Drop them once in the sink and they can break. Sometimes they can be repaired but not always. Place a thick towel in the sink when cleaning your denture to prevent this kind of damage.

2. If you have a particularly strong bite or you grind your teeth, the denture can wear out faster. They also wear faster if they bite against porcelain or gold crowns.

3. If you tend to leave your denture out for several days at a time, your mouth can change to the point where the denture no longer fits properly. If your denture fits poorly or causes sore spots, you want to get it adjusted by a qualified dentist rather than not wear it.

4. As you get older, your mouth changes and it is very typical that a denture will require occasional adjustments and relines to maintain a proper fit.
