One of the most common reasons a denture will fracture is because it needs to be relined or replaced. If your gum shrinks, the denture may start to move and slip more and rock on the gums. This may cause an uneven and unfavorable force on your denture and the supporting structures. Denture relines are frequently needed after natural tooth extractions, but generally, relines are required every two to three years to maintain an accurate fit and strengthen the partial or complete dentures. Denture replacements are often necessary every five years.

At Darrach Denture Clinic in Huntsville, ON, we can add a strengthener to your denture if it has cracked or broken in two or more pieces. A lingual bar for a lower or wire mesh for an upper can help prevent cracks and keep your denture in one piece. If you have partial dentures and need to have teeth extracted, we can modify your partial here in two hours for you.

The human mouth can change at any time throughout our lifespan, due to reasons such as weight loss, tooth or bone loss, illness, disease, and aging. Anytime this occurs for a denture patient, there has to be a modification to their dentures. The solution is usually an adjustment and/or reline and sometimes a new set. Dentures do not adapt to changes in the mouth and often the patient is not aware of the changes because it occurs slowly. It is important to have your dentures checked by your denturist each year to be informed. Relines and repairs will make your dentures more comfortable.

Darrach Denture Clinic in Huntsville, ON, relines dentures and offers a denture repair service. We even offer a denture house call service if you are unable to leave your home.
