Denture Repairs & Relines in The Tri-Cities

A repair fixes damage such as cracks or breaks. A reline improves how your denture fits by adjusting the surface that rests against your gums. 

Signs that a reline may be needed include looseness, increased reliance on denture adhesive, sore spots, difficulty chewing, or changes in how your dentures feel when speaking. These changes often occur as your gums and underlying tissues naturally change over time. 

This varies by patient, but most dentures need a reline every few years as the gums and underlying tissue naturally change. Regular check–ups help determine when a reline is needed to maintain proper fit and function. A consultation can help determine the right timing. 

Not all dentures can be repaired. The ability to repair a denture depends on the material it is made from and the extent of the damage. Traditional acrylic dentures are often repairable, while some digitally manufactured or milled dentures may not be suitable for reliable repair. A consultation allows us to evaluate your denture and determine whether a repair, reline or replacement is the best option.
