Why Do You Need Denture Repairs?
There are many reasons why you might need a denture repair at our clinic. Some of these include:
- Ill-fitting dentures: The most common reason for denture repairs is them being ill-fitting in the first place. If your dentures are poorly fit, you can put uneven stress in one particular 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.
Whatever the causes of your damaged dentures might be, we at Postings Denture Clinic will get it repaired in no time.
Types of Repairs
Depending on the cause, your dentures can get damaged in different ways. They might require minor readjustments or extensive repairs. The types of denture repairs that we provide include:
- Relining: Your gums and soft tissue undergo natural changes over time. The dentures that you wear also experience changes that might be undetectable to you. A denture relining can make them fit you better.
- Rebasing: Impact fractures often affect the base of your dentures. Moreover, the base can also lose its shape over time. A denture rebasing restores their original condition and gives them stability.
- Readjustment: If you have badly-fitting dentures, a readjustment procedure can fix the issue. It mostly includes minor readjustments that make wearing your dentures more comfortable.
Denture repairs can restore a fractured or damaged denture to close to its original condition. Our office prides itself in offering same-day repairs, allowing you to have your smile back quickly and hassle-free. We are also happy to advise you on your dentures' condition and how to avoid further damage.
Please get in touch with us if you have any questions regarding our denture repairs in Victoria.
Additions
If you're having your natural teeth extracted, it is quite common for teeth to be added to an existing partial denture, provided it is in good condition. Once the teeth have been removed, we usually recommend waiting one week for healing, after which we can book you for a same-day addition! We are also sometimes able to 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 and decide the best treatment plan for you.
Maintenance
Like with everything else, when it comes to dentures, prevention is critical. 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
