Men and women with significant tooth loss are candidates for dentures. False teeth are not dependent on age, but more so on the condition of the patient’s teeth.
It is also important for a patient to have enough jawbone structure and healthy gum tissue remaining. This is because false teeth need a sufficient amount of support from natural tissue to remain in place for a long period of time.
The most common age group that has false teeth are people over 65 years of age. Needing dentures over age 40 is also fairly common, especially in women.
