A Growing Gap in S e n i o r S m i l e s
Singapore's rapidly ageing population has created an urgent demand for dentures. Studies show that seniors over 65 have an average of only 11 teeth remaining. The annual demand for dentures was estimated at 40,000 in 2020 — and is expected to surge as 24% of the population reaches 65 by 2030.
The consequences of tooth loss extend far beyond aesthetics. Seniors who can no longer chew properly tend to eat softer, less nutritious food, exacerbating existing health problems. The loss of teeth can also affect self-esteem, causing many to shy away from socialising — which in turn impacts mental well-being.
