I’ve worked in prosthodontics for over a decade, and you're right—3–5 years is the typical lifespan quoted for acrylic dentures, but with proper care, many patients get closer to 7 or even 10 years. The key factors are daily hygiene, regular checkups, and avoiding habits like biting on hard objects or grinding teeth.
