“How do I know if my dentures fit properly?”
I am a 48 year old male. I wonder how can I know if my dentures fit properly?

Simple, do they stay in? Can you eat? Do both left and right sides touch evenly?
Proper seal
Properly fitting dentures should be pain free with minimal movement. In addition adhesive should not be necessary.
If teeth meet in normal occlusion without any discomfort and you can eat normal as before without dislodging the dentures.
If you use them as instructed and they do not give you discomfort and function for chewing as instructed, then you probably have a successful result. You can always have a second opinion evaluation if you are doubtful or concerned.
A dentist could evaluate them for you (and should do an annual exam to make sure your gums, jaw, and tongue are healthy). Do the dentures wobble when they are in your mouth if you push on one side then the other? Do the teeth look worn down?
If you are comfortable, no sore spots and no significant slipping of the appliances.
If they fit snugly and they don't feel loose, then yes. If you are having sores, then no, they are not.
You would have to get them evaluated by a dentist.
