Repair(Emergency & Maintenance)
Accidents happen. Whether it’s a crack or a
missing tooth, our on-site laboratory provides fast, often same-day repairs to get your smile back on track. A broken denture can be a stressful experience that affects your daily confidence and ability to eat. By utilizing our specialized in-house laboratory, We can often assess and repair fractures, chips, or detached teeth while you wait, saving you from days of discomfort.
Our professional repairs are significantly stronger and more durable than any temporary home-fix, ensuring the structural integrity of your appliance is fully restored. We prioritize emergency cases to ensure you never have to be without
your smile for long.
Reline(Refitting Your Dentures)
As your jawbone changes over time, dentures can
become loose. A reline resurfaces the denture base to ensure a snug and comfortable fit
against your gums. Over time, the natural shrinkage of gum tissue and bone (resorption)
is inevitable, causing a once-perfect denture to slip or create sore spots. A professional
reline involves taking a new impression inside your existing denture to perfectly capture
the current shape of your ridges. This process not only restores the suction and
stability of your dentures but also prevents premature wear on your oral tissues. We
recommend a reline every 2 years to maintain optimal oral health and comfort.
Rebase (Total Base Replacement)
We replace the entire pink acrylic base while
keeping your existing denture teeth. This provides a strong, stable, and refreshed
foundation. While a reline only adds a new layer to the surface, a rebase is a more
comprehensive restoration where all the pink acrylic is replaced with brand-new material.
This is the ideal solution if your denture teeth are still in excellent condition, but the base
has become brittle, stained, or has multiple previous repair sites. A rebase essentially
provides you with a structurally new denture at a fraction of the cost of a full
replacement, extending the lifespan of your appliance.
Soft Liner (Enhanced Comfort Solution)
For patients with sensitive gums or chronic
discomfort, we add a medical-grade cushioned layer to the denture base to absorb shock and improve comfort. Many patients with thin or flat gum tissues experience persistent pain from the pressure of hard acrylic dentures. Our medical-grade soft liners act as a shock absorber between the hard denture and your sensitive oral tissues,
making chewing much more comfortable. This specialized material stays resilient for along period, providing a gentle "cushion" that helps distribute biting pressure more
evenly. If you have struggled with chronic sore spots, a soft liner can be a life-changing addition to your denture experience.
