What Are Denture Rebases?
A denture rebase replaces the entire acrylic base of your denture while preserving the existing denture teeth. This treatment may be recommended when the teeth remain in good condition, but the denture base has become damaged, weakened, stained, or no longer fits properly due to wear over time.
Unlike a denture reline, which adds material to the underside of the denture, a rebase rebuilds the foundation of the appliance for improved support, fit, and durability. By creating a new base while retaining the existing teeth, a denture rebase can help restore comfort, stability, and function without the need for a completely new denture.
In many cases, rebasing can extend the lifespan of your denture and provide a stronger, more reliable fit for everyday use.
Signs Your Denture Base Needs Attention
Your denture base may need attention if it feels loose, looks cracked, causes sore spots, or no longer sits securely against your gums. Changes in comfort, stability, or bite can be signs that your denture needs a professional rebase, reline, or repair.
Visible Cracks
Small cracks in the acrylic base can spread over time.
Loose Fit
A denture that moves while eating or speaking may need adjustment.
Sore Spots
Pressure points can develop when the base no longer fits properly.
Worn or Thin Acrylic
A weakened base may affect durability and comfort.
Repeated Repairs
Frequent damage may indicate the base needs stronger support.
The Denture Rebase Process
The denture rebase process rebuilds the denture base while keeping your existing denture teeth when appropriate.
