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.
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.
no , not as long as you have a jaw bone.
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).

Not necessarily. Maybe he didn't want to give you dentures if he knew they wouldn't fit right or be supported without implants. Have you had dentures before? Did you go in to his office and complain about how dentures never fit you? Implants may be the best solution and he may not want to give you a set of dentures that he knows you will be unhappy with.
