Dentures, while offering numerous benefits, can be susceptible to damage if not handled with care. In the event of a denture breakage, attempting to fix them yourself through methods like gluing, soldering, boiling or microwaving is strongly discouraged, as it can irreversibly damage the dentures. Instead, it is crucial to seek professional assistance from Denture Solutions to explore the repair options available. We offer denture repairs, relines and rebasing to restore your dentures to full functionality.
Dental Relines:
When the structure of your gums and bone tissue beneath change over time, it can cause your denture to become uncomfortable to wear. If this happens, your dentures will need a reline, which adds material to the base of your appliance to better fit the shape of your mouth. Reline procedures involve taking an impression of the oral tissues and creating a new base to fit the current shape of the mouth. They can help prevent sore areas in your mouth or other dental issues.
Rebasing:
Rebasing is typically recommended when the denture teeth are still in good condition but the supporting material has become weak or lost its integrity. Rebasing allows for the creation of a new base that is stronger, more durable and better fitting, providing renewed comfort and functionality to the dentures.
Repairs:
In cases of denture fractures or damage to specific components, repairs are often the most suitable option. Dr. Rick Miller possesses the expertise and tools to repair dentures effectively. The repair process involves carefully assessing the damage, realigning and reattaching broken pieces, and reinforcing weak areas. While repairs can vary in complexity depending on the extent of the damage, our skilled medical denturist practitioner can typically restore the functionality and aesthetics of the dentures to a satisfactory level.
