Accidental ingestion of denture resulting in esophageal impaction is fairly reported in the literature. It is, however, uncommon to find such impaction lasting more than a few days without the development of serious complications. We present a 38-year-old man with denture impaction in the esophagus for 20 years who presented with features of gastroesophageal reflux disease. This case brings to the fore the need for a thorough evaluation of all patients who incidentally ingest denture irrespective of the severity of the initial symptoms.
