Maintaining dentures is essential to ensure they function well and look good. At some point, you may need to repair or reline them. But what's involved in this process, and how do you know when to seek the help of a denturist?
A denture repair dentist is someone who can repair or reline your dentures in-house within a day or two. While there are no dentists who specialize in denture repairs only, many denture clinics offer same-day repair services at a fraction of the cost that a denture repair dentist would typically charge.
Denture repair involves fixing a damaged or cracked denture so that it can be used again without the need for a new one. Denturists can also preemptively repair dentures with material defects to avoid further damage. However, if your denture is over five years old or has already been repaired before, it may be better to invest in a new one.
Attempting to repair dentures at home using DIY kits or superglue can result in undesirable results and may even increase your repair costs in the long run. Signs that you need denture repairs include visible damage, chipped or missing teeth, or stains that won't come off with regular cleaning.
A denture reline is the process of adding new material to the inside surface of an existing denture to improve its fit and make it more comfortable. It may be a temporary solution or a longer-term option to extend the life of your denture. A denture specialist can help you decide whether a reline is right for you.
Signs that you need a dental reline include slipping dentures, difficulty eating, sore spots in your mouth, or discomfort while wearing your dentures. In some cases, getting a new denture that fits your current gum shape may be the best course of action.
Signs That You Need Denture Repairs
- Visible cracks or damage to the denture
- Acrylic that is not smooth or catches debris
- Chipped or missing denture teeth
- Embedded stains that can’t be removed with routine home care
