Denture Rebase & Repairs

At Simone Dental, we understand the importance of well-fitted, functional dentures for your comfort and confidence. Sometimes, even if the teeth of your denture are still in good condition, the denture base material may wear out or become damaged over time. In such cases, rebasing might be the ideal solution to restore the stability and functionality of your dentures. If you’re searching for a reliable dentist in Metairie, LA to handle your denture needs, Dr. Joseph P. Simone, II, is here to provide expert care.

Rebase

Rebasing is a process where the entire acrylic base of your denture is replaced without changing the denture teeth. This procedure is typically recommended when the denture base material has weakened, but the teeth are still in excellent condition. A rebase provides a stable, comfortable fit, effectively extending the lifespan of your dentures. If your denture is old, cracked, or showing signs of wear, rebasing may be necessary to ensure it continues to function properly.

Rebasing is similar to relining, but instead of only replacing the lining of the denture, the entire pink acrylic base material is replaced. This is often recommended for patients whose denture base has deteriorated due to age or damage. If you need rebasing, trust Dr. Simone to restore your denture to optimal condition.

Reasons You May Need a Rebase

  • Broken or damaged denture: If your denture has sustained a crack or other damage, rebasing can restore its strength and functionality.
  • Weakened or old pink denture base: Over time, the pink acrylic base of your denture can wear out, even if the teeth remain in good condition. Rebasing replaces the worn base, providing a like-new fit.
  • Replacement of an immediate denture: Immediate dentures, often provided right after teeth extraction, may need to be rebased after your gums have healed to ensure a proper fit.

If you’re unsure whether rebasing is right for you, our trusted dentist in Metairie, LA, can evaluate the condition of your denture and recommend the most appropriate solution.
