Repairs and Relines
Have you broken your denture?
Need a tooth added to your denture?
Does your denture need a clean?
​
Dentures often need repairs and maintenance from time to time for several reasons, whether it needs a clean, you've broken it by dropping them or by biting something hard, loose clasps, they no longer fitting properly due to changes to the shape of your mouth, or if you have had further teeth extracted and need additional teeth added to your denture. We can assist to get your denture repaired and fitted properly again.
​
Relines are a type of repair and there may be several reasons you need a reline, such as -
-
You have had an immediate denture made where all your natural teeth have been removed and the denture inserted straight away. A reline is required as follow up treatment due to your supporting tissue changing dramatically;
-
Your denture may be slipping or moving when you talk, eat or sneeze;
-
Your denture breaks when eating something “soft”;
-
You get a lot of food under your denture;
-
You are using excessive amounts of denture adhesive to keep them in place; or
-
You are getting repetitive ulcers (often this may only need an adjustment)
​
Depending on the type of repair required, this can take as little as 45 minutes to complete. Relines take more time to complete, however this can normally be done within a day.
