Denture Reline
& Rebase
Do you have a denture or dentures that just won’t stay put and are causing a lot of discomfort?
Are you constantly adding denture adhesive (polygrip) to keep them in place? It may be time for a denture reline or rebase.
Denture Relining
Relining is required when the denture ceases to fit properly due to any shrinking of bones.
Some common causes of resorption include aging, illness, tooth loss, and weight-loss, among others. The process will involve your Denturist taking an impression of the fitting side of your denture, and then adding and processing new denture base material (pink) to secure a better fit.
We recommend coming in first thing in the morning for the impression and return later in the day for the insertion. If your denture has a soft liner, more time may be required. Your Denturist will confirm drop-off and pick-up times with you.
Denture Rebasing
Certain denture cleaning products or not soaking your teeth in water whilst not wearing them, can cause your denture to warp or become brittle.
A rebase if often performed when the denture has multiple cracks or repairs or does not fit well, but the teeth themselves are still in good condition. The process involves the replacement of the whole pink acrylic base, using the same teeth.
The end result would be a denture(s) that fit and look like new! (typically next day pick up).
