ADDITIONS AND DENTURE REPAIR IN VICTORIA, SIDNEY AND LANGFORD

DENTURE PROBLEMS

 

You might need a denture repair at our clinic for many reasons. Some of these include

​

• Ill-fitting dentures: The most common reason for denture repairs is that they are ill-fitting in the first place. If your dentures are poorly fitted, you can put uneven stress on one area while using them. This uneven stress can cause fractures in the dentures.
   

• Impact: Impact fractures are another reason why you might need denture repairs. Dropping dentures can cause them to break at different points, such as the gum line or even the teeth. Impact fractures usually necessitate immediate repairs.
   

• Natural wear and tear: Despite being made of durable material, dentures can become weathered due to prolonged use. The older the dentures are, the more prone they are to be damaged. Moreover, your jawbone changes over time, which might cause them to become ill-fitting.

​

Regardless of the cause of your damaged dentures, we can repair them at Postings Denture Clinic Ltd. in no time. Denture repairs can restore a fractured or damaged denture to close to its original condition. Our office prides itself on offering same-day repairs, allowing you to have your smile back quickly and hassle-free.

WHY IS DENTURE REPAIR IMPORTANT?

Whether a small crack has appeared in your dentures or they don't fit well anymore, you mustn't neglect repairs or relining. The small cracks will worsen over time and, in the worst cases, become irreparable. Chewing, speaking and eating with ill-fitting dentures is uncomfortable and can negatively impact your oral health, changing the shape of your mouth. Fortunately, denture repair and relining are easy procedures that typically take less than a day. 

​

If you want to avoid spending money on an expensive denture replacement and minimize discomfort, please schedule an appointment with us. We offer same-day service for denture repairs in Victoria and the nearby areas. We can also help you with insurance and financing. 

 

KNOW YOUR DENTURE REPAIR

 

Over time, your dentures get loose and start wearing out, and it is time to get them repaired to maintain proper oral function. There are three most common types of denture repairs:

​

• Denture reline: This is an adjustment to improve the fitting of your dentures, usually done every 5-20 years to keep them comfortable and healthy in your mouth. It typically requires resurfacing the area of the tissue in direct contact with your denture.

• Denture rebase: A rebase is required if your teeth are in good shape but your gum portion is worn out. It is similar to a reline, but in a rebase, the pink acrylic part of the denture is replaced. This type of repair is usually required when denture teeth get damaged or broken, compromising the denture's strength.

• Sore spots: As the shape of your mouth changes with time, the alignment of the denture may get affected, and it might not fit in your gums. This creates sore spots in your mouth as the denture becomes too large, requiring professional assistance to fit your gums again.

ADDITIONS

 

When natural teeth are extracted, it's common to consider adding them to your existing partial denture, especially if it's in good condition. At Postings Denture Clinics Ltd. in Victoria, we offer this service to ensure your comfort and confidence in your smile. After removing your teeth, allowing a week for healing is advisable before proceeding with any adjustments.

​

Once the healing period ends, we can promptly schedule you for a same-day addition to your partial denture. Alternatively, in some instances, we can add the necessary teeth to your partial denture before your extraction appointment. This allows your oral surgeon to insert the denture immediately after the extraction procedure, streamlining the process for your convenience. Our experienced team of denturists and dental professionals will cooperate closely to determine the most suitable treatment plan for your needs.

 
MAINTENANCE

 

As with all health matters, prevention is critical when it comes to dentures. The regular maintenance of your dentures can elongate their life and eliminate the need for unnecessary repairs. Some ways to take care of your dentures include:

​

• Take care of your overall dental hygiene

• Come in for regular denture inspections

• Keep your dentures clean

• Be careful while handling your dentures

• Ensure that your dentures fit you properly

• Don’t use regular toothpaste for cleaning your dentures

• Avoid hot water while rinsing

• Don’t try any DIY repairs

• Don’t use a hard-bristled toothbrush, as it is too abrasive for your dentures
