Dentures are designed to be durable and withstand the daily pressures of your jaw, but over time, they can develop wear and tear. With regular dental visits, we can catch potential problems early, recommend a denture reline if the fit becomes uncomfortable, or perform a rebase and repair for more extensive damage.
A damaged or poorly fitting denture doesn’t just cause discomfort—it can lead to gum irritation, sores, and even increase the risk of gum disease by creating a breeding ground for bacteria. Prevent these issues with routine care at Dentistry at Kennestone!
What Is a Denture Rebase?
A denture rebase involves replacing the entire pink acrylic base of the denture, while keeping the denture teeth intact. This procedure is ideal when the denture teeth are still in good shape but the base shows signs of aging, cracks, or damage.
Rebasing is similar to a denture reline, but it goes a step further by completely replacing the pink-acrylic denture base material instead of just the lining.
Why Would I Need a Denture Rebase?
Common indicators that you may need a denture rebase procedure include:
- Broken or damaged denture
- Weakened or old pink denture base
- Replacement of an immediate denture
What Is a Denture Repair?
In cases where dentures are too damaged for a simple reline or rebase, a more extensive repair is often needed. At Dentistry at Kennestone, we provide comprehensive denture repair services to restore your appliance’s functionality and appearance.
Denture damage can happen for a variety of reasons, but it’s important to address it as soon as possible. To minimize inconvenience, we offer same-day denture repair services.
After the repair, Dr. Foxhall will evaluate your denture’s condition and offer personalized advice to help prevent further damage.
Advanced Denture Care with Rebase & Repairs
Even the highest-quality dentures can experience wear and tear over time. Fortunately, our expert rebase and repair services can restore your denture to its original condition, helping you avoid the expense of replacing it entirely.
