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 fit, you can put uneven stress in one area while using them. The unevenly distributed stress causes fractures in some parts of 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.

​

WHY IS DENTURE REPAIR IMPORTANT?

Whether a small crack has appeared in your dentures or they don't fit well anymore, it is essential you don't neglect repairs or relining. The small cracks will worsen over time and, in worst-case scenarios, 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 don't require more than a day. 

​

KNOW YOUR DENTURE REPAIR

 

Over time, your denture gets loose and starts wearing off, and it is time to get them repaired for the proper functioning of your oral system. There are three most common types of denture repairs:

​

• Denture reline: It 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 is typically required to resurface 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. However, it is similar to reline but in rebase, whose pink-acrylic 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. It creates a sore spot in your mouth as the denture becomes too large to fit in your mouth and requires professional assistance to once again fit in your gums.

ADDITIONS

 

If natural teeth are extracted, it is common for teeth to be added to an existing partial denture, provided it is in good condition. Once the teeth have been removed, we recommend waiting one week for healing, after which we can book you for a same-day addition! Sometimes, we can add the teeth to your partial denture before your extraction so your dentist or oral surgeon can insert it immediately after the teeth are extracted. Your denturist and dentist can work together to decide your best treatment plan.

 

MAINTENANCE

 

Like everything else, 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

• 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
