Denture Rebase and Repairs

After several years of have a good denture, you may feel that the base material is wearing out due to normal wear and tear.

At Southern Maine Family Dental we may recommend a rebasing if the teeth of your denture are still in good condition and have not worn out in comparison to the denture base material. Rebasing is the process of replacing the entire acrylic denture base providing a stable denture without replacing the denture teeth. A rebase for a denture may be required if your denture is old or cracked. A rebase is very similar to reling, the difference being that, a rebase replaces all the pink-acrylic denture base material instead of just the lining.

Reasons for the rebase procedure may include:

Broken or damaged denture
Weakened or old pink denture base
Replacement of an immediate denture
