Denture Repairs & Relines

Dentures shift over time as the mouth changes, and normal wear can loosen a fit or crack a base. Denture Repairs & Relines address these issues so an existing denture continues to fit comfortably and function well, without the need to start over with an entirely new appliance. Dr. Adam Salm, Dr. Jed Kanner, and Dr. Hayley Grandeau all see patients for denture repair and reline needs at this practice.

When a Repair or Reline Helps

Loose or Shifting Fit — A reline adds material to the inside of the denture so it sits snugly against the gums again.
Cracks or Breaks — A denture that has cracked, chipped, or separated from a tooth can often be repaired rather than replaced.
Worn or Uneven Biting Surfaces — Denture teeth that have worn down unevenly can affect chewing and speech, and may be addressed as part of a repair.
Sore Spots or Irritation — Ongoing rubbing or discomfort is often a sign the fit needs adjusting.

How We Approach It

Getting an accurate fit matters for comfort and function. Where a new impression is needed for a reline, our intraoral scanner can capture a digital image of the mouth in place of a traditional mold, making the process more comfortable for many patients.
