Adjustments, Relines & Repairs

Denture Care

A denture isn’t a one-time appointment — it’s a long-term relationship. Your gums, jaw, and bite change over time, and a denture that fit perfectly five years ago may not fit perfectly today. We handle adjustments, relines, repairs, and replacements all in-house.

Daily care


Brush your dentures daily with a soft-bristle brush and a non-abrasive cleaner — toothpaste is too rough for most denture materials. Soak them overnight in a denture-specific solution. Rinse before re-inserting. Skipping any of these steps is the most common cause of denture odor and stain.

Adjustments and relines


If your denture has started rubbing, slipping, or feeling loose, the answer is usually an adjustment (small reshaping) or a reline (resurfacing the inside to match your changed gum tissue). Both are quick visits — usually under an hour — and they can buy years of comfort.

Repairs and replacement


Dentures break occasionally — a dropped denture on a hard surface is a familiar story. Most cracks and broken teeth can be repaired in a single visit. If a denture is more than 8–10 years old or has had multiple repairs, replacement is often the right call.

If your denture stops feeling right, let us know — most fixes are quick.
