Can a Dentist Fix Loose Dentures without Making a Whole New Set?

Contact Us

Yes, we can often fix loose dentures without the need for a completely new set. Our team uses several professional methods to restore the fit and comfort of your existing appliance:

  • Relining: This is a common procedure where we add a new layer of materialโ€”either soft or hardโ€”to the inner surface of your denture. This fills in the gaps caused by natural changes in your gums and jawbone over time, giving the denture a better grip and more cushion.
  • Rebasing: If the teeth of your denture are still in good shape but the pink acrylic base is worn or damaged, we can replace the entire base. This allows you to keep your existing teeth while providing a brand-new foundation that matches your oral tissues.
  • Professional Repairs: We can also address specific issues like cracks in the base or broken teeth, often performing these restorations on-site or through our lab to restore full function.

Because every smile is different, results may vary and treatment outcomes are not guaranteed as they depend on individual circumstances. We recommend scheduling a free initial assessment at our modern clinic in Port Coquitlam. We can evaluate the cause of the looseness and determine if a simple adjustment is right for you. For your convenience, we also offer evening appointments for busy families.

Please consult a healthcare professional for diagnosis or treatment advice.
