Age is not a factor; people can get dentures at any age. However, it is more common for elders or senior citizens to need dentures because they have had their teeth longer.
If you regularly care for your oral health and do not have gum disease, it’s unlikely to need dentures. For patients with gum disease the risk increases due. It is possible to have never had a cavity in your entire life, but still develop gum disease which could result in a need for dentures or alternative treatments.
