Denture Repairs and Relines in Vancouver, WA

Contact Us Today

Over time, dentures may become loose, damaged, or uncomfortable due to natural changes in the mouth or everyday wear. At Advanced Denture & Implant in Vancouver, WA, denture repairs and relines are offered to restore function, improve fit, and extend the life of your existing appliance. Whether the denture has cracked, fractured, or no longer fits securely, prompt service ensures continued comfort and oral stability.


Denture damage is more common than many people expect. Accidental drops, pressure from chewing, and gradual changes in jawbone structure can all contribute to issues that require professional repair or relining. Rather than replacing the entire denture, these services provide a cost-effective way to maintain your appliance’s performance.


Same-day repair options are often available, allowing patients to avoid extended downtime and return to normal function quickly.

Common Denture Repairs

Denture repairs address a wide range of problems, from small fractures to more extensive breakage. Some of the most common issues include:


  • Cracks in the acrylic base
  • Broken denture teeth
  • Separation of the base into two pieces
  • Loose or dislodged teeth
  • General wear from long-term use


In most cases, broken or damaged dentures can be repaired in-office using specialized tools and dental-grade materials. When a tooth breaks off or the denture fractures, repairs are completed by bonding the components back together, reshaping the base, and ensuring a secure and functional result.


While temporary glue or home repair kits are marketed as quick fixes, they can cause permanent damage to the denture and compromise oral health. Professional repair ensures that the structure is restored correctly and comfortably.

What Is a Denture Reline?

A reline is the process of reshaping the underside of a denture to improve its fit against the gums. Over time, the bone and soft tissues of the mouth naturally change shape due to aging or tooth loss, which can lead to a loose or unstable denture.


During a reline, a new layer of material is added to the inside of the denture to match the current contours of the gums. This helps improve suction, stability, and comfort. There are two types of relines available:


  • Hard Reline: Uses a permanent acrylic material to reshape the denture base. Best for long-term comfort and durability.



  • Soft Reline: Uses a more flexible material, recommended for patients with sensitive gums or frequent sore spots.


The reline process typically involves taking an impression of the gums, adjusting the denture base, and allowing the new material to cure. In some cases, relines can be completed the same day.

When to Seek Repairs or a Reline

Patients are encouraged to contact Advanced Denture & Implant in Vancouver, WA if they notice any of the following issues:


  • Cracks or chips in the denture
  • Loose or rocking fit
  • Persistent sore spots or irritation
  • Clicking sounds during speech or chewing
  • Difficulty keeping the denture in place


Even if there is no visible damage, dentures that no longer fit properly can affect chewing, speech, and the health of the underlying tissue. Delaying repairs or relines can lead to further complications and discomfort.


Regular checkups allow the denturist to assess the condition of the appliance and determine whether a repair, reline, or replacement is needed.

Maintaining Dentures After Service

After a denture has been repaired or relined, patients should continue practicing daily care to maintain its condition. This includes:


  • Gently brushing the denture to remove debris
  • Storing the denture in water or a soaking solution overnight
  • Avoiding exposure to extreme heat
  • Handling with care to prevent drops or fractures


With proper care and timely professional service, dentures can remain effective for many years. However, even well-maintained appliances may eventually need replacement, typically every 5 to 7 years.

If your denture is damaged or no longer fitting comfortably, schedule a repair or reline appointment with Advanced Denture & Implant in Vancouver, WA. Fast, professional service is available to keep your denture functional and secure without unnecessary delay.
