Dentures Made, Repaired and Relined at Home

Can dentures be made at home?

In suitable cases, a mobile dentist can help arrange new dentures through visits at home, in care homes or in hospital where practical. The process normally starts with an examination and impressions or records where appropriate, followed by laboratory stages and fitting appointments.

The denture-making process

New dentures can involve several stages. The dentist will advise whether acrylic dentures, metal/cobalt-chrome dentures or another approach may be suitable after assessment.

Denture repairs and relines

Denture repairs and relines may also be possible after assessment. The dentist will advise whether the denture can be repaired, relined or whether replacement is more suitable.

When laboratory or clinic care may be needed

Some denture work requires laboratory stages or clinic-based care. Not every denture can be repaired, and not every patient is suitable for every denture type.
