Dentures from Gentle Dental Hawthorn can typically last for many years with proper care and maintenance. However, the dentures’ longevity may be affected by changes in the mouth’s gum and bone structure due to aging, wear and tear, or a shift in oral health. Regular dental appointments are recommended to ensure that the dentures continue to fit and remain in good condition.
With proper care and maintenance, dentures from Gentle Dental Hawthorn can provide a long-term solution for missing teeth.
