Denture Repairs And Rebasing
Denture repairs and rebasing are essential services to maintain the comfort, functionality, and longevity of your dentures. Over time, your dentures may experience wear and tear, or even accidental damage. If you notice any cracks, chips, or broken pieces, it's important to address these issues quickly. Denture repairs restore the structure of your dentures to close to their original condition, helping you avoid discomfort and potential oral health problems. Many repairs can be done on a same-day basis, minimizing downtime and restoring the function of your dentures. Regular repairs help prevent further damage and keep your dentures comfortable for everyday use.
Preserving Denture Consistency
Rebasing is a process that replaces the entire acrylic base of your denture while keeping the teeth intact. This is typically recommended when the teeth of your denture are still in good condition but the base material has weakened or become damaged. Rebasing is similar to relining, but instead of just adjusting the inner lining, the entire denture base is replaced. Reasons for needing a denture rebase include a cracked or broken denture base, weakened material due to age, or the replacement of an immediate denture. Rebasing helps restore stability, comfort, and a secure fit without the need for a completely new denture.
