Denture Rebase in Parksville, BC

A worn or damaged denture base does not always mean you need an entirely new denture. If your denture teeth are still in good condition, a denture rebase may help restore the fit and support of your existing denture. At Parksville Denture Clinic, we assess your denture, listen to your concerns, and recommend an approach suited to your needs.

Whether your denture feels loose, has developed cracks, or no longer sits comfortably, our team can help you understand your options.

What Is a Denture Rebase?

Denture rebasing involves replacing the acrylic base—the pink portion that rests against your gums—while retaining the existing denture teeth. The new base is made to fit the contours of your mouth and provide a sound foundation for your denture.

A rebase may be appropriate when the base is worn, weakened, or damaged, but the teeth and their arrangement remain suitable. Before recommending treatment, we examine your mouth and denture to determine whether rebasing, relining, repair, or replacement is the better option.

Signs Your Denture May Need Rebasing

Changes in your mouth and everyday wear can affect how your dentures fit and function. Consider scheduling an assessment if you notice:

A denture that shifts or feels less secure than it used to.
Cracks, deterioration, or repeated repairs in the denture base.
Discomfort or pressure against your gums.
Difficulty chewing comfortably with your current denture.
A worn base even though the denture teeth remain in good condition.

These concerns can have several causes. A professional assessment helps identify the source of the problem rather than simply treating the symptoms.

Denture Rebase vs. Reline: What Is the Difference?

Denture Rebase

A rebase replaces the entire acrylic base while keeping the existing denture teeth. It may be recommended when the base needs more extensive renewal than a reline can provide.

Denture Reline

A reline adds material to the tissue-facing surface of the existing base to improve its fit against your gums. It is often considered when changes in the underlying gums and bone have affected the fit, but the base is otherwise serviceable.

If the teeth are significantly worn, the bite is unsuitable, or the denture has other limitations, a new denture may be a better choice. We will explain the findings and discuss your options before proceeding.

What to Expect During the Rebasing Process

At Parksville Denture Clinic, personalized care starts with understanding how your denture performs in daily life. Your assessment and treatment may include:

Consultation and examination: We review your concerns and check your oral tissues, denture base, teeth, and bite.
Impressions and records: If a rebase is appropriate, we take the impressions and records needed to create the replacement base.
Base replacement: The existing denture teeth are retained while a new acrylic base is fabricated.
Fitting and adjustments: We check the fit and bite and make adjustments as needed.

Because rebasing requires work on your existing denture, you may need to go without it for a period of time. Our team will explain the anticipated timing and any follow-up care before treatment begins.
