Denture Rebase & Denture Repair in Santa Barbara, CA
If your dentures have become loose, cracked, broken, or uncomfortable, they may not need to be replaced. In many cases, Dr. Nina Madavi can restore your existing dentures with a professional denture rebase or denture repair, helping you regain comfort, function, and confidence while extending the life of your dentures.
What Is a Denture Rebase?
A denture rebase replaces the entire pink acrylic base of your denture while preserving the existing denture teeth if they remain in good condition. Over time, the denture base can weaken, crack, or lose its proper fit, even though the artificial teeth still function well.
A rebase creates a new, durable foundation for your denture without the expense of fabricating an entirely new appliance.
When Is a Denture Rebase Recommended?
A denture rebase may be the best solution if:
- Your denture base is cracked, broken, or damaged
- The acrylic base has become old or weakened
- Your denture no longer fits securely
- Your immediate denture requires replacement of the base
- The denture teeth remain in good condition but the base needs renewal
What Is the Difference Between a Denture Rebase and a Denture Reline?
Many patients confuse these two procedures.
A denture reline replaces only the inner surface of the denture that rests against your gums to improve the fit.
A denture rebase replaces the entire pink acrylic denture base while keeping your existing denture teeth. Rebasing is typically recommended when the denture base has significant wear or damage but the teeth remain in excellent condition.
Denture Repair
Dentures can become damaged unexpectedly from everyday wear, accidental drops, or changes in bite forces. Even a small crack can weaken your denture and lead to more extensive damage if left untreated.
Common denture problems include:
- Broken or fractured dentures
- Cracked denture bases
- Chipped or broken denture teeth
- Loose denture teeth
- Dentures that no longer fit properly
Prompt repair helps restore the strength, comfort, and function of your dentures while preventing further breakage.
