Denture Repairs Reno, NV

Rebase

Rebasing may be recommended when the teeth of your denture are still in good condition and have not worn out in comparison to the denture base material. Rebasing is the process of replacing the entire acrylic denture base providing a stable denture without replacing the denture teeth. A rebase for a denture maybe required if your denture is old or is cracked. A rebase is very similar to relining, the difference being that, a rebase replaces all the pink-acrylic denture base material instead of just the lining.

Reasons for the rebase procedure may include:

  • Broken or damaged denture
  • Weakened or old pink denture base
  • Replacement of an immediate denture

Frequently Asked Questions

What Is the Difference Between a Denture Reline and a Denture Rebase?

A denture reline adds new material to the inner surface of your denture touching your gums, improving fit as your mouth changes over time. Only the lining is replaced, not entire base. A denture rebase is more extensive—it replaces the entire pink acrylic base material while keeping your existing denture teeth intact. Rebasing is recommended when your denture teeth are still in excellent condition but the acrylic base has become worn, discolored, cracked, or weakened. This process essentially renews your denture’s lifespan without replacing the teeth. Both procedures improve comfort and function, but rebasing provides more comprehensive restoration extending your denture’s life by five to seven years. Schedule evaluation at White Pine Family Dental to determine which service your denture needs.

Denture repair costs vary depending on type and extent of damage, typically ranging from $100-$500. Simple repairs like fixing small crack or reattaching single tooth may cost $100-$200. A denture reline ranges from $275-$600, while complete rebase costs approximately $400-$800 per arch. More complex repairs involving multiple teeth, metal reinforcement, or permanent soft liners fall on higher end of cost spectrum. At White Pine Family Dental, we often provide same-day denture repairs to minimize your time without dentures. We’ll examine your denture, explain what repairs are needed, and provide detailed cost estimate before beginning any work to help you make informed decisions. Call (775) 825-6655 to discuss repair options and costs for your specific situation.

A denture rebase typically requires your denture to be sent to a dental laboratory, meaning you may be without your dentures for several days to a week. The exact timeframe depends on laboratory workload and complexity of your case. We understand being without your dentures can be challenging, so we work with reliable labs to expedite the process whenever possible. In some cases, we can provide temporary denture or expedited service. The actual rebasing process involves creating new impressions, removing old base material, processing new acrylic, and ensuring proper fit—detailed work requiring professional laboratory equipment. Once your rebase is complete, we’ll schedule fitting appointment to ensure optimal comfort and function. Contact White Pine Family Dental at (775) 825-6655 to discuss timeline for your denture rebase.

You should consider denture rebasing every five to seven years to maintain optimal function and appearance, or sooner if problems develop. Signs you may need rebasing include visible cracks in pink acrylic base, weakened or brittle denture feeling fragile, significant discoloration not improving with cleaning, or loose fit that relining alone won’t fix. If your denture teeth are still in good condition without excessive wear but base is deteriorating, rebasing is perfect solution. Rebasing prevents complete denture failure and extends life of your prosthetic significantly. During your regular dental checkups, we’ll examine your dentures and recommend rebasing when appropriate to prevent unexpected breakage and maintain your ability to eat and speak comfortably. Schedule your denture evaluation at White Pine Family Dental.

We strongly advise against attempting to repair your dentures at home with over-the-counter repair kits. While these kits may seem convenient and cost-effective, they often cause more damage than they fix. The adhesives in drugstore kits aren’t designed for stresses dentures endure during eating and speaking, leading to poor repairs failing quickly. Improper repairs can create sharp edges irritating your gums, misalign your bite, or make professional repairs more difficult and expensive later. If you absolutely need temporary emergency fix until you can see us, a repair kit may hold you over, but schedule professional repair appointment immediately. At White Pine Family Dental, we provide expert denture repairs restoring your dentures to proper function and can often complete repairs same day. Call (775) 825-6655 for prompt professional denture repair service.
