REVITALIZING YOUR DENTURES FOR OPTIMAL COMFORT AND FIT
We focus on extending the life and enhancing the comfort of your existing dentures. Our skilled team is committed to ensuring your dentures continue to fit perfectly and feel comfortable, even as your oral structure naturally changes over time.
UNDERSTANDING RELINES AND REBASES
- Denture Relines: This procedure involves adding new base material to the tissue side of a denture to ensure a snug fit. Relines are essential for maintaining the fit of your dentures as your gum tissues change over time.
- Denture Rebases: Rebasing is similar to relining, but it involves replacing the entire base material of the dentures. This is typically done when the teeth of the denture are still in good condition but the base material has worn out.
THE BENEFITS OF RELINES AND REBASES
Opting for a reline or rebase can significantly improve your denture-wearing experience:
- Enhanced Comfort: Adjusts the fit of your dentures to reduce irritation and sore spots.
- Improved Fit: Keeps your dentures fitting snugly, preventing slippage and improving speech and chewing ability.
- Extended Denture Life: Prolongs the life of your dentures, delaying the need for a full replacement.
- Cost-Effective Solution: A more affordable alternative to getting a new set of dentures.

- Taking an impression of your mouth with your current dentures.
