Broken, worn or ill-fitting dentures need not always be replaced. In fact, we can assess very quickly if you’re a candidate for a reline or repair. In the case of repairs, in most occasions we can often provide you with same-day service.

RELINES
This consists of adding new base material to the tissue side of a denture so it fits properly. We will need to take an impression inside your existing denture. Relining affects only the fit of your denture and will not change the appearance.

Relines are required when tissue changes occur due to shrinkage. This can be due to: Loss of weight, Loss of teeth, Loss of bone, Aging, Disease or Illness.

REPAIRS
In many cases, we can restore an existing broken or cracked denture to its original state. Repairs may be required when breakage or chipping occurs, when one or more teeth need to be added to an existing denture (due to tooth extraction), or because of wear and tear.

Most repairs can easily be done in one day. If your denture requires a repair, it may be indicative of underlying problems, including age of the denture, worn teeth, or poor fit. We can explain how to prevent denture breakage from occurring.
