Denture Relines, Rebasing, and Repairs in Jacksonville, FL
At Crystal Clear Dental Spa, Dr. Mary Hu provides expert denture relines, rebasing, and repair services to restore the fit, comfort, and function of your dentures in Jacksonville, FL. Whether your dentures have become loose, damaged, or uncomfortable, we can help restore them to optimal condition.
Denture Relines
A denture reline involves adding new material to the tissue side of your denture to improve its fit. As your jawbone and gums change shape over time, dentures can become loose and uncomfortable. Relining restores a snug, comfortable fit without replacing the entire denture.
Types of Relines
- Soft Reline - Uses pliable material for sensitive gums
- Hard Reline - Uses durable acrylic for long-lasting fit
- Temporary Reline - Short-term solution while healing or adjusting
Denture Rebasing
Rebasing replaces the entire acrylic base of your denture while keeping the existing teeth. This is necessary when the denture base is worn, cracked, or damaged but the teeth are still in good condition. Rebasing essentially gives you a new denture foundation while preserving your existing bite and appearance.

Dr. Hu can repair various denture problems, including:
- Cracked or broken denture base

The Process
For relines and rebasing, Dr. Hu takes new impressions of your mouth to ensure an accurate fit. Your dentures are sent to a dental laboratory where the reline or rebase is completed. Most procedures can be finished within a few days. For simple repairs, we may be able to fix your dentures the same day.
