Dentures are a wonderful, cost-effective alternative for regaining the aesthetics and functionality of missing teeth. Whether you have opted for a single, partial denture, or full denture, caring for them is just as important as caring for your natural teeth.
Over time, your dentures may not fit as well or be as comfortable as they once were. This could be due to prolonged use without repair, leading to wear and tear that presents itself through telltale signs—such as ill-fit, chip, hairline fractures, or discomfort while carrying out basic functions like speaking or chewing. Additionally, changes in your facial structure and jawbone proportions over time can also require readjustments to your dentures.
Since not all denture repairs and relines are the same, we recommend booking a consultation so we can thoroughly analyse and make custom adjustments to suit your needs and lifestyle.
At Impressions Dental Studio, we understand the significance of well-fitting dentures in your daily life.

Sometimes, dentures can break or sustain significant damage unexpectedly, causing an unanticipated disruption to your daily life. We understand that certain things simply can’t wait and how important your dentures are for your everyday activities. That’s why, at Impressions Dental Studio, we offer emergency denture repair services in Gold Coast, making it easier for you to book an appointment at the location most convenient for you.
We will endeavour to repair your dentures as quickly as possible, with same-day denture repairs available in most cases.
Once your natural tooth or teeth are removed, it’s common for the shape of your gums and jawbone to change due to a process called bone resorption. This occurs because, without the stimulation from chewing, the bone that once supported the tooth begins to shrink. As a result, dentures can lose their snug fit over time, especially within the first six months following extraction, when bone loss is most rapid. After this period, the process slows but continues.
Other factors like ageing or weight loss can also affect the fit of your dentures. A denture reline allows us to adjust your existing dentures to fit your changed mouth structure, offering better comfort without needing new dentures.
Typically, relines should be considered every two years, but this may vary. If your dentures are causing discomfort, book an appointment with us so we can assess and adjust them for improved fit.
Alternatively, implant-retained dentures may be a more stable solution, as implants stimulate the jawbone like natural teeth, reducing bone loss and the need for frequent realignments. Contact us today to explore your denture options!
While over-the-counter denture repair kits are readily available, a DIY approach to fixing a broken denture can be risky. Even a tiny hairline fracture, if not repaired properly, could lead to deeper cracks, or the adjustment might irritate your mouth, causing infection or other oral health issues.
For your safety and convenience, we highly recommend having your broken denture repaired by a professional. At Impressions Dental Studio, we prioritise your comfort and the quality of our lab work. You can rest assured that your denture repair will be carried out with precision and as quickly as possible.
In most cases, we offer denture relines on the same day, typically within a few hours. However, the relines may take longer if the denture requires extensive relining.
Please drop by one of our denture clinics in Gold Coast so we can assess your dentures and provide you an estimate of reline timeframe and costs involved.
All surgical procedures carry risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.
