Relines and Rebases
Same Day Denture Reline
What is a Denture Reline?
This consists of adding new base material to the tissue side of a denture so it fits properly. Relining can restore your denture to a "like new fit". Your Denturist will need to take an impression inside your existing denture.
​
Relining affects only the fit of your denture and will not change the appearance or other aspects.
​
Relines are required when tissue changes occur due to resorption (shrinkage). Resorption can take months or years to happen.
​
It can be due to:
​
-
loss of weight
-
loss of teeth
-
loss of bone
-
normal ageing
-
disease or illness
Rebase
Rebasing is usually done when the denture teeth have not worn out in comparison to the denture base material. It is a process of retrofitting dentures by replacing all of the acrylic denture base with new acrylic, which provides a stable denture without replacing the denture teeth.
