Frequently Asked Questions

Can you fix my denture while I wait?

Often yes! Simple repairs can be done same-day, sometimes while you wait. Complex repairs may take 1-3 days.

Should I use denture adhesive if my denture is loose?

Temporarily, yes. But adhesive is not a long-term solution. Schedule a reline to restore proper fit.

How often do I need a reline?

Every 2-3 years on average. Frequency depends on bone loss rate, denture age, and overall fit.

Can I repair my denture myself?

No! DIY repairs with super glue damage the denture and make professional repair difficult or impossible. Always see a dentist.
