Same-Day Relines and Denture Repairs in Nanaimo
If you are experiencing problems with your dentures while you eat or have sore spots on your gums, it may be time for a soft reline. Dentures are susceptible to damage as the supporting tissue shrinks with time. This makes the dentures come loose in your mouth. Regular denture relines can minimize adverse changes in the supporting tissue. In case of extensive damage or worn-out denture teeth, replacement of your appliances is strongly recommended. Denture repairs mainly refer to adding more base material to the tissue surface of your prosthetic and can usually be done in a single visit.

Digital Filing of a New Denture with Back-up Milling
We use 3D scanning technology to keep a digital file of your complete dentures. This is useful if you want a backup set or lose them. Our backup dentures are affordable and handy to have while going on vacation. We can have another set milled for you in a few days.
Durable Soft Liners
Soft liners impart comfort and cushioning against the ridge of the jaw. They are usually added to the tissue side of the lower denture. Contact us to discuss whether this is a recommended option for you.

The Risks of Wearing Broken Dentures
Wearing broken or damaged dentures might seem harmless if they still "mostly" function, but that couldn't be further from the truth. Poor-fitting or cracked dentures can:
-
Causes mouth sores: The uneven pressure on the gums leads to sore spots and inflammation.
-
Accelerate bone loss: Loose dentures speed up bone resorption in the jaw due to constant friction.
-
Disrupt digestion: Improper chewing affects how well your body breaks down food.
-
Affect your speech: Even slight changes in fit can impact clarity and confidence when speaking.
-
Lead to infection: Cracks and fractures can harbour bacteria, increasing your risk of oral infections.
At Nanaimo Denture Clinic Inc, we understand the urgency of these situations. That's why we offer same-day denture repairs in Nanaimo, ensuring you're never without your smile for long.
Why You Should Avoid DIY Denture Repair Kits
When a denture breaks or a tooth pops out, reaching for a DIY fix is tempting. But store-bought repair kits often do more harm than good. Here's why:
-
Unreliable materials: DIY kits are made from temporary materials that can compromise the structure of your denture.
-
Imprecise fit: Applying materials yourself often results in an uneven bite or poor fit, creating new sore spots or discomfort.
-
Void warranties: Home repairs can nullify warranties or guarantees provided by your clinic.
-
Hidden damage: Professional assessment is crucial. What seems like a small crack could be a symptom of a more significant issue.
Instead of risking it, bring your dentures in for a professional evaluation. Most repairs can be completed while you wait, giving you peace of mind and a reliable fit.
