Frequently asked questions
Can I eat everything with dentures?
Most foods once you are used to them; take care with very hard or sticky foods.
How long do dentures last?
The jaw changes over time, so dentures are usually relined or renewed every 5–8 years.
Why is my denture loose?
Bone shrinkage changes the fit; a reline, a new denture or an implant-retained denture may help.
