Denture repair, relines and new dentures — at home

Signs your dentures need attention

Gums and bone change shape over time, so even a well-made denture eventually stops fitting. More adhesive is not the answer — a loose denture needs a reline or adjustment.

• They slip or click when talking or eating
• More and more adhesive is needed to keep them in
• There are sore spots or ulcers under the denture
• A tooth has come off, or the denture is cracked or chipped
• Eating has become harder, or certain foods are avoided

What we do at home

Relines: we reshape the fitting surface of the denture so it sits snugly on the gums again. A denture reline is $500.

Repairs: cracked bases, broken or missing teeth and damaged clasps can often be fixed. Denture repair is priced after we see the denture — call us for a price. Please don't glue a broken denture; keep all the pieces.

Adjustments: we smooth and adjust areas that rub or cause sore spots.

New dentures: a denture (any type) is $3,500 and includes all fitting visits and two adjustment visits. A flipper (temporary tooth) is $1,000.

Fees and what's included

The home visit fee is $350 on Long Island and $500 in New York City and Westchester. It covers travel, setup, the exam and X-rays, and you get a written price before any treatment starts.

Every treatment fee includes the exam and X-rays from your home visit, and the price you're quoted is the price you pay.

We do not participate with any insurance plans. You pay us directly, and we prepare and submit the claim so any reimbursement is paid directly to you.
