Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between complete and partial dentures?
Complete dentures are designed to replace all teeth in an upper or lower arch, while partial dentures replace several missing teeth when healthy natural teeth remain. The appropriate option depends on how many teeth are missing, their location, the condition of your remaining teeth, and your overall oral health.
What are immediate dentures?
Immediate dentures are created before planned tooth extractions and are designed to be placed shortly after the teeth are removed. Because the gums and supporting tissues change as they heal, the fit of an immediate denture may also change. Adjustments, relining, or another restoration may eventually be recommended as healing progresses.
Why does my denture feel loose?
Your gums and jawbone can gradually change after tooth loss, which may affect how a denture fits. A denture that once felt secure can therefore become loose over time. Your dentist can evaluate the denture and your mouth to determine whether an adjustment, reline, rebase, repair, or replacement is appropriate.
What is the difference between a denture reline and rebase?
A reline modifies the tissue-facing surface of a denture to improve how it fits against the gums. A rebase is more extensive and replaces the denture's acrylic base while retaining the existing denture teeth when appropriate. Your dentist can examine your denture and determine which approach better addresses its condition and fit.
Can a broken denture be repaired?
Many damaged dentures can be repaired, but the appropriate treatment depends on where and how the denture has broken, its age, fit, and overall condition. Avoid attempting to repair a denture with household glue or other materials. A dental evaluation can determine whether professional repair or replacement is the better option.
