Relines, Rebases & Repairs in Stoney Creek
As time progresses, your dentures may undergo changes due to bone loss, wear, and regular use. To address these changes and ensure that your dentures consistently meet your needs, our clinic offers the following specialized services:
Relines involve adding new material to the underside of an existing denture to improve its fit. We recommend this procedure when bone shrinkage occurs, causing your denture to become loose. Relining adjusts the inner surface of the denture without altering the overall structure or appearance.
Relines may be needed due to:
-
weight loss or gain
-
tooth loss
-
bone loss
-
aging
-
a disease or illness
-
medications

Rebases are more extensive and involve replacing the entire acrylic base of the denture while keeping the existing teeth intact. This is typically done when the base has become worn or damaged and significant bone loss is observed, but the teeth are still in good condition. Rebasing essentially gives the denture a new foundation, making it stronger and more durable, while preserving its original appearance.

Repairs
Whether it’s a fracture, a chip, or a broken tooth, our denturists can often repair your denture to its original state. In addition, we can assess the situation to discover any underlying problems that may have led to the breakage, such as worn teeth or denture instability. We can help in these instances and also explain how to prevent damage in the future. Early action greatly increases the chances of a full repair, so don’t delay.
