Even the best-fitting dentures can experience wear and tear over time. Whether your denture has cracked, loosened, or the base has weakened, our team at Elite Dental Specialists is here to help. We offer professional denture rebasing and same-day repairs in Houston, TX to restore the fit and function of your appliance—so you can get back to smiling, eating, and speaking comfortably.
What Is Denture Rebasing?
Denture rebasing is the process of replacing the entire pink acrylic base of your denture while keeping the existing denture teeth intact. This option is ideal when your denture teeth are still in good condition, but the base has become worn, cracked, or unstable.
🦷 You may need a rebase if:
- Your denture base is cracked, warped, or stained
- The denture feels loose or unstable
- You’re transitioning from an immediate denture to a more permanent one
- Your current denture is more than 5 years old
Rebasing restores the integrity and fit of your denture without the need for a full replacement—saving you time and money.

Life happens—and so do denture accidents. Whether your denture is chipped, fractured, or broken, we offer prompt and professional denture repair services, often completed the same day.
Common denture repair needs include:

FAQ
1. What is the difference between a denture rebase and a reline?
A denture reline reshapes the inside of your denture for a better fit, while a denture rebase replaces the entire pink acrylic base of the denture while keeping the existing teeth.
You may need a reline if your gums have changed shape, but you may need a rebase if the base is cracked, worn, stained, or structurally weak. Rebasing is essentially a “new denture base” without replacing the teeth.
2. How long does a denture rebase take?
Most rebases require 24–48 hours, depending on the condition of the denture and the lab work involved. Dr. Obeidi will evaluate your denture at your appointment and let you know whether same-day service is possible or if a full rebase is recommended.
3. Can you repair my broken denture the same day?
Yes — many denture repairs can be completed same day, including:
-
Cracks in the acrylic
-
Broken denture teeth
-
Missing teeth
-
Small fractures
-
Dentures damaged from dropping
We work quickly to restore your appliance so you can get back to smiling, eating, and speaking comfortably.
4. How do I know if I need a denture repair or a full rebase?
You may need a simple repair if you have:
-
A chipped tooth
-
A small fracture
-
Minor damage
A rebase is recommended if:
-
The entire acrylic base is cracked or warped
-
The denture is more than 5 years old
-
You’re transitioning from an immediate denture
-
The base is thin, weak, or stained
Dr. Obeidi will examine your denture and recommend the solution that provides the best long-term comfort and stability.
5. Are denture repairs and rebases covered by insurance?
Most PPO dental insurance plans provide partial coverage for denture repairs and sometimes for rebasing, depending on the age of the appliance and your policy terms. Our team will review your benefits, estimate your out-of-pocket cost, and help coordinate financing if needed.
6. Will my denture fit better after a rebase?
Yes. A rebase helps restore firmness, stability, and comfort because the entire acrylic base is rebuilt to match your current tissue shape. Many patients feel their rebase fits similarly to a new denture — without the cost of full replacement.
7. How can I prevent my dentures from breaking again?
To extend the life of your dentures:
-
Avoid hot water (it can warp the acrylic)
-
Store dentures in water or a protective case when not wearing them
-
Handle them over a soft towel to prevent drops
-
Schedule yearly denture checkups
-
Report looseness early to avoid stress fractures
Proper care helps prevent cracks, warping, and tooth breakage.
