When Repair Makes Sense
- The denture is relatively new and fits well
- Damage is limited to one crack or tooth
- The teeth are not badly worn
- You are happy with how it looks
When Replacement Makes Sense
- The denture is many years old
- Teeth are worn flat or stained
- It has broken more than once
- Fit is poor even after relines
- Your bite or facial support has changed
Repair vs. Replace: Side by Side
| Repair or reline | New denture | |
|---|---|---|
| Upfront cost | Lower | Higher |
| Time | Often shorter | Several visits |
| Fit and bite | Restores the existing design | Rebuilt for your current mouth |
| Appearance | Unchanged | Chance to update your smile |
How Worn Dentures Affect Your Health
Worn denture teeth can reduce chewing efficiency and change your bite, which may lead to jaw discomfort. A poorly fitting denture can also irritate the gums. Replacing an old denture can restore function as well as appearance.
How Long Do Dentures Typically Last?
Most dentures serve for roughly five to ten years before wear and mouth changes make a new set worthwhile, with relines and repairs along the way.
Questions to Ask Before You Decide
- How old is my denture, and how worn are the teeth?
- Will a repair restore a good fit, or only fix the break?
- Has my bone or gum shape changed since the denture was made?
- Would implants make a new denture more stable?
Dr. Felo answers these after examining your mouth and denture, so your decision is based on how your denture fits today, not just how it looks.
Considering Implants Instead?
If you are replacing a denture anyway, it may be a good time to consider implant support for more stability. Read about the process for implant dentures near Hollins.
