Introduction
Maitland Denture Repair
Denture fractures and poor-fitting appliances are common over time and can lead to discomfort, difficulty chewing, or even tissue irritation. At ProCare Dental Australia in Maitland, denture repairs and relines are carried out using in-clinic equipment to restore function and comfort efficiently. Our on-site facilities allow for prompt service, and in many cases, repairs can be completed on the same day.
Repairs typically address issues such as cracks, tooth loss, or fractured bases. Relines are often recommended when dentures become loose due to changes in the gums or jaw. The process involves reshaping the fitting surface for improved stability. Patients are encouraged to have relines done every few years, especially if experiencing movement, pressure points, or sore spots.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my denture needs a reline?
A denture may need a reline if it feels loose, shifts while speaking or eating, or causes sore spots on the gums. Over time, natural bone resorption and soft tissue changes can affect how the denture fits. A reline reshapes the inner surface of the denture to improve comfort and reduce movement. Regular reviews are recommended to determine whether a reline is required.
Can cracked or broken dentures be repaired?
Yes, many types of damage — including cracks, tooth separation, or full fractures — can be repaired without the need for a complete replacement. The success of a denture repair depends on the severity and location of the damage. A qualified dental prosthetist can assess the issue and determine if a same-day repair is possible. Repaired dentures should be checked regularly for signs of future wear.
What is the difference between a hard and soft reline?
A hard reline uses a more durable material and is designed for long-term comfort and support. It involves reshaping the base with acrylic that hardens to provide a secure fit. A soft reline uses a flexible, cushioning material and is often recommended for patients with sensitive gums or tender oral tissue. The best option depends on medical history, gum health, and comfort needs.
Restoring Fit
Adjustments & Maintenance
Over time, the jawbone and gums naturally change shape, especially after tooth loss. This makes denture relines a necessary part of long-term denture care. A reline improves how the denture sits by reshaping the internal surface to match current oral contours. This can reduce irritation, enhance comfort, and improve retention without needing a full replacement.

Repairs are available for a range of issues, including chipped teeth, hairline cracks, broken clasps, or full fractures. Most simple repairs can be completed within the same day, while more complex adjustments may require additional appointments. For clients in aged care facilities or with limited mobility, mobile denture repair services may also be available. All repairs and relines are carried out by a qualified dental prosthetist in compliance with New South Wales regulations.
