Dental prosthetics (replacement of missing teeth)
This question is more than six months old, so the information in the answer may no longer be accurate.
Visitor asks:
Please tell me after
how much time I am entitled to a complete denture.
I last received one on 27.6.2006. Because it has
started moving around and it is difficult for me to eat.
Thank you!
Best regards, Martin

Dear Sir/Madam!
If the denture was made at the expense of the insurance company, its durability period is five years. For at least that long the insurance company will not cover the cost of a new denture. When you can receive a new one depends on the waiting time for prosthetic services with the individual provider and on the assessment of whether the denture really needs replacement or not (perhaps it only needs relining). In any case, it is best to visit your dentist and ask the same question. If the denture was made privately at your own expense, the factors described do not apply.
Have a nice day!
