Denture Repairs and Denture Relines
Denture relining and repair are procedures that adjust or repair dentures, which replace missing teeth.
A denture reline involves adding material to the part that touches the gums, improving fit and comfort as gums and bone shape change over time.
Denture repair fixes broken or damaged dentures that can result from dropping them, biting hard foods, or general wear. This may involve fixing cracks or replacing missing teeth.
A dentist or a denturist performs both procedures, and it’s essential to address any issues promptly to ensure comfort and functionality. Solutions depend on the extent and type of damage.

The importance of having your denture relined
Dentures are a standard solution for those who have lost teeth. They are removable and can enhance your smile, speech, and chewing ability. However, as your mouth and jawbone change over time, dentures may become loose or ill-fitting. This is where denture relining is essential.
Denture relining involves adding material to the underside of your denture to improve its fit. There are two types: hard relining, which uses a durable material, and soft relining, which uses a flexible material. Both can be done in-office or in a lab.
Getting your dentures relined is crucial for comfort and functionality. Ill-fitting dentures can cause discomfort, sore spots, and difficulties with eating and speaking. They can also lead to bone loss and changes in your facial structure.
Regular relining can prolong the life of your dentures and save you money by improving fit and comfort. It helps maintain jawbone health by evenly distributing pressure.
In summary, denture relining is essential for denture wearers. If you experience discomfort or notice your denture doesn’t fit well, reach out to our team at Amazing Smiles to see if denture relining is right for you.

The frequency of denture relining typically ranges from every two to three years. Still, it may be needed sooner if there are significant changes in your jawbone or gum tissue due to aging, weight loss, or other factors. Regular dental check-ups are crucial for assessing the fit of your dentures and determining whether relining is necessary. Our denture specialists at Amazing Smiles can evaluate your needs and recommend the proper timeline for relining. Contact us for a consultation to ensure your dentures remain comfortable and practical.
If you have a broken denture, remain calm. Please do not attempt to fix it yourself, as this may cause further damage.
Schedule an appointment with your dentist or denture specialist right away. They will assess the damage and decide whether it can be repaired on the spot or needs to be sent to a lab. Sometimes, if the denture is old or has been repaired multiple times, it may need to be replaced.
To avoid future breakages, make sure to keep up with regular dental check-ups. These can help ensure your denture fits properly and stays in good condition.
In summary, a broken denture can be fixed by a professional. Taking immediate action and maintaining regular dental visits will help you keep your smile functional and comfortable.
Metal dentures, or cast partial dentures, are durable replacements for multiple missing teeth, made with a metal framework. While they last longer than other dentures, they may need adjustments or repairs over time.
Relining metal dentures improves their fit and comfort by adding a new material layer. This can help keep them secure and prevent gum irritation.
If a metal denture is damaged, it may need repair or complete replacement. Damage can occur from bends, cracks, or wear over time. Minor issues may be repairable, but extensive damage usually requires a new denture.
Regular dental checkups are essential to ensure your metal denture is in good condition. Amazing Smiles Dentists can advise if your denture needs relining or repairs, helping you maintain your oral health. Taking care of your metal denture allows you to enjoy a comfortable and functional smile for years.
- Clean Daily: Use a soft-bristled brush and a non-abrasive denture cleaner to remove food particles and plaque. Avoid regular toothpaste as it can damage your dentures.
- Handle with Care: Dentures are fragile. Always handle them over a soft towel or a basin of water to prevent breakage if dropped.
- Keep Moist: When not in use, soak your dentures in a denture solution or water to prevent drying and warping.
- Avoid Hot Water: Use lukewarm water for cleaning, as hot water can warp the denture material.
- Check for Damage: Regularly inspect for cracks, chips, or loose teeth. Contact your dentist for repairs if needed.
- Regular Dental Visits: See your dentist for check-ups and cleanings. They can adjust your dentures for a proper fit.
Yes, denture teeth can be replaced. Over time, they may wear out, get damaged, or discolour. You don’t need to replace the entire denture; just the teeth can be substituted.
To replace the teeth, a dentist will take an impression of the denture to make a mould for the new teeth. The replacement teeth are then attached to the denture base with a strong adhesive.
Keep in mind that the new teeth may not match the colour or look of the original ones, especially if the denture is old. However, they should function correctly for chewing and speaking.
If you need to replace teeth in your denture, consult a dentist or a denture specialist. They can evaluate your denture and advise you on the best steps to take and how to care for it to extend its life.
Yes, denture teeth can be whitened, but the process differs from whitening natural teeth. Denture teeth made of plastic or acrylic can absorb stains over time. Cleaning them involves special solutions and brushes designed for dentures.
Keep in mind that denture teeth may not achieve the same brightness as natural teeth. If the denture is old or heavily stained, it may be difficult to remove all discolouration, and you may need to replace it.
For the best results in whitening your denture teeth, consult your dentist or denture specialist. They can recommend appropriate cleaning solutions and assess whether any repairs or replacements are needed.
