FAQs – Relines, Rebases & Repairs
What is the difference between a reline and a rebase?
A reline adjusts the inside surface of the denture so it fits more comfortably against the gums, typically using new acrylic material. A rebase replaces the entire acrylic base of the denture while keeping the existing teeth, making the denture stronger and longer-lasting.
When should a patient consider a soft reline?
A soft reline is recommended for patients with tender or sensitive gums or for those experiencing sore spots caused by hard acrylic bases. The soft material cushions the denture, providing greater comfort while still maintaining stability.
How long do relines and rebases take to complete?
The timeframe depends on the type of service and the complexity of the case. In most cases, relines and simple repairs can be completed within a short turnaround period, while rebases and surgical appliances may require more time. Thanks to our efficient systems and reliable pick-up and delivery, we ensure work is completed and returned promptly.
Can dentures be repaired if they crack or break?
Yes. Most fractures, chips, and damage can be repaired. We offer single-point repairs for minor damage, as well as more comprehensive repair services if multiple areas need attention. In many cases, repairs can extend the life of dentures significantly without needing a full replacement.
What are surgical guides, and why are they used?
Surgical guides are precision tools used to assist during procedures such as implant placement. They help ensure accuracy by guiding the surgical instruments into the correct position. We offer guides with single sleeves or multiple sleeves depending on the requirements of the case.
Is it possible to add a new tooth to an existing denture?
Yes. We provide additional tooth services that allow an extra tooth to be integrated into a patient’s existing denture. This is a cost-effective solution when only one or two teeth are lost, saving the patient from needing a completely new denture.
