Denture repairs restore the optimal fit, comfort, and appearance for your dentures after they start to feel loose, become dirty, or are damaged. This review highlights everything that patients should know about denture repair after their dentures begin to feel loose while they are worn.
It is important to not put off denture repairs when they become loose. Otherwise, more severe concerns could develop, and the looseness is only likely to grow worse, leading to an increased chance of needing denture replacement rather than repair.
It is important to repair dentures as soon as they become loose. Otherwise, they can start to cause some concerns, such as gum soreness and inflammation. This can also impact the person’s ability to function daily, making them less focused and more concerned with the dentures coming loose at an inopportune time. In addition, the risk of needing to replace the dentures is greater if the person waits to have their loose dentures addressed.

Repairing loose dentures offers a range of advantages. When compared with the alternative options of not addressing the loose dentures or completely replacing them, denture repairs can:
Denture repairs are typically more affordable and take less time than denture replacement. However, waiting a while to have loose dentures repaired could lead to the need for replacement, so seeking early repair once they become loose is strongly encouraged.
There are different types of denture repairs, including a general repair that can be performed in the dental office and a denture relining or a denture rebasing, both of which require the dentures to be sent to a laboratory in many cases. Depending on the reason the dentures are loose, the dentist may recommend one type of repair over another. Often, patients are required to send them to the laboratory when addressing a loose denture, although a chairside relining may be an option in certain cases.
During the first visit, the dentist can assess the dentures to determine why they are loose. If the issue is minor, such as a denture base that no longer fits due to warping, then the issue can be repaired. However, if the damage is severe, then it is often more cost and time-efficient for the patient to have the dentures replaced with a more reliable set of dentures, ensuring the optimal fit long-term.
