depends on type and care. a metal frame work partial can last up to seven years or longer with proper care and regular exams and cleanings.
depends on the care you take care of it. Insurance says 5 years
It will last for a long time depending on the care you give it and periodic maintenance by DDS.

Partial dentures can last many years, it depends on the teeth supporting the partial, the type of material used to construct your partial, and the care at home of the partial. Ask your provider how long he/she thinks the partial will last under your specific circumstance. I have patients that have had their partials 10 +n years. Depends, what is opposing the partial ? Natural teeth, another partial, implants?
