Dentures are made of an incredibly durable material, yet they do not respond well to sudden, tough forces such as being dropped down onto porcelain sinks or tiled floorings. As dentures age the acrylic can become brittle and end up being poorly fitting, they can likewise be stressed by consistent flexing while in usage, which leads to small stress fractures and cracks that could snap with time.

Persisting with old dentures that are worn and ineffective is amongst the main reason why patients present for denture repairs and often do not have a spare therefore dentures should be maintained and typically changed after 5 to 8 years and relined when needed. Some dentures need to be replaced even earlier depending on your teeth grinding habits.
