Thereality is that dentures are porous. While properly cleaning your dentures regularlywill help reduce denture biofilm, after 5 years, dentures can start to have anadverse effect on your health.
A recent study in Biomedical Report July 2013 - Volume 1 Issue 4, showed thepresence of potentially harmful biofilm in 60 % of denture cases tested. "The healthof elderly individuals may be compromised, rendering them susceptible to infection,particularly by intraoral bacteria and general infection may lead to aspirationpneumonia and respiratory infections.".

Our Calgary Denture experts have seen their fair share of 25+ yeardentures and understand that there may have been other reasons preventing patientsfrom getting new dentures such as finances.
