That depends on the reason for considering Dentures. Your health should be your primary concern, and if your teeth are making you sick and there is no other option than to have dentures made and you are fully informed on what to expect, then it may be the option fro you. Although dentures will make your ability to eat more challenging. The good part is that there is technology in dentistry that can stabilize dentures to feel and perform excellent. They could look really good too! If this has been a recommendation to you by a dentist, they are seeing something you may not be so feel good about your decisions and stay healty!
I hope that helps and good luck!

Never, as long as you take care of your teeth. Dentures is something you never want to aspire to.
Never! Dentures cause massive bone resorption and can change your facial features for the worst! Try to get dental implants instead
Decision to move on onto denture is affected by the condition of the teeth , the bone, and the medical condition and not necessarily age.
Never . We recommend keeping your teeth for as long as you can.
Dentures are okay to use when you discover you can no longer eat well, or function well, or smile well. While we advised to get dentures quickly, there may be personalized reasons why dentures may not be the best fit for you. You can always look into teeth replacements with Implants/Crown.
It's not about age, it's about the health of your teeth.
Hopefully never. Dentures are no longer the standard of care, there are several permanent or semi permanent implant options available. With good oral hygiene and regular dental care most people should never have to replace their teeth!
No certain age.
Adults do not have to consider dentures. Get to your dentist. See if you have any cavities. If you are having any GUM DISEASE ISSUES have it taken care of. The LANAP PROTOCOL CAN REMOVE ALL GUM DISEASE BACTERIA DISEASED BONE AND TISSUE IN ONE TREATMENT. START TODAY. GET AN APPOINTMENT WITH YOUR DENTIST. OUR OFFICE DOES THE LANAP PROTOCOL AND WE ARE IN THE PHILADELPHIA AREA. SINCE MOST OF PHILADELPHIA IS NOT AWARE OF THE LANAP PROTOCOL OUR OFFICE IS OFFERING A SPECIAL PROGRAM. ONCE YOU HAVE YOUR GUM DISEASE TREATED, YOU HAVE TO START TAKING CARE OF YOUR TEETH. PLAQUE FORMS EVERY DAY AND WILL CRYSTALLIZE IN 24 TO 48 HOURS. SALIVA CONSTANTLY FORMS IN OUR MOUTHS. SALIVA CONTAINS CALCIUM WHICH WILL ALSO HARDEN. HARDENED CALCIUM IS CALLED CALCULUS OR TARTAR. PLAQUE BACTERIA CAN PENETRATE TARTAR AND GETS CLOSE TO YOUR TEETH. THERE THE ACIDS ATTACK THE ENAMEL ON YOUR TEETH AND SOFTENS IT. THESE ARE THE WHITE SPOTS NEAR YOUR GUM LINE. PLEASE SEE YOUR DENTIST!
Need for dentures isn't determined by age; it is determined by lack of teeth.
Hello,
Good for you for being proactive! However, age is not something that should play a big role in the consideration for dentures. For example, I have seen patients in their 90s that have all their teeth. I have also seen patients as young as 22 and 23 that were considering dentures. As long as the majority of teeth are healthy, then there is no need to consider dentures.
The consideration of dentures is better suited when there are several teeth missing which affects effect chewing, or periodontal disease (gum recession) or badly decayed teeth require the removal (extraction) of several teeth. At this point there are other options to consider as well; such as implants or bridges. Hope this helps.
My best to you!
