Denture Rebase/ Softline
Restore a Comfortable Fit: Denture Rebase at Prime Denture and Implant Center
Dentures are an excellent solution to replace missing teeth and restore a complete smile. However, even the best denture can lose its snug fit over time. This is because the jawbone naturally shrinks, causing the denture base to become loose and unstable. This can lead to several issues:
- Pain and Discomfort: Loose dental plates can scrape against your gums, leading them to be painful and irritated.
- Eating Difficulties: Poorly fitting dentures can make it challenging to chew food properly, which can affect digestion and overall health.
- Speech Problems: Loose dentures can shift while speaking, leading to mispronunciation and unclear speech.
- Social Anxiety: Loose dentures may cause embarrassment, making you self-conscious about your appearance in public.
The good news is that there’s a solution! Denture rebase is a process that will make your old dentures fit correctly again. At Prime Denture and Implant Center, our experienced dental practitioners can skillfully perform perfect dental rebasing, allowing you to recover confidence and comfort.
What is Denture Rebase?
Denture rebasing involves replacing the entire base material of your denture while preserving the existing teeth. This process creates a new foundation that conforms to the current shape of your jaw, ensuring a secure and comfortable fit.
Benefits of Denture Rebase
There are various reasons why you should consider denture rebasing at Prime Denture and Implant Center:
Greater Comfort: A properly fitted set of dentures will stay securely in your mouth. This can help reduce irritation and improve your ability to chew food and speak clearly.
Boosted Self-Confidence: Well-fitting dentures allow you to smile freely and confidently in public.
Extended Denture Lifespan: Rebasing adds new materials to the tissue side of dentures, making them last longer and delaying the need for new sets.
Enhanced Oral Health: When a removable appliance is loose, bacteria and food particles may become trapped, leading to gum infection. With rebasing, there is better sealing, leading to improved oral hygiene.
Denture Rebase Process
Prime Denture and Implant Center’s denture rebase process is simple and highly effective.
Consultation: At your first visit, our dentist will assess your teeth and discuss what bothers you. They will inspect their fit and determine whether rebasing is the most appropriate treatment for you.
Impression Taking: If a denture rebase is recommended, we will take accurate impressions of your jaw to make a custom-formed base for your dentures.
Try-In: Once the new base is made, you’ll return for a try-in appointment. We will ensure that the fit is perfect and make any necessary adjustments.
Delivery and Care Instructions: Your final rebased dentures will be given to you with detailed cleaning instructions and care tips.
When to Rebase Dentures
Certain signs indicate that it may be time for a rebase in the case of dentures:
Loose or Shifting Dentures: If your dentures feel loose or no longer fit tightly, it is likely because of bone shrinkage, and they may need to be rebased.
Difficulties Chewing: Chewing food can be challenging with a loose denture.
Speech Impediments: You will have difficulty pronouncing some sounds accurately when you wear loose dentures.
Gum Irritation: Any movement between the denture and the gum surface can cause discomfort and gum irritation.
