What Is the Same-Day Denture Reline and Repair Process?
In this video, Remi Berube, DD, explains how same-day denture services work and why fast, in-house care can make a big difference when you need adjustments or repairs.
A major advantage of our denture services is that most of what we do is same-day. When you come in, you can expect to get your appliance back the same day. This is something many other offices can’t offer.
For relines, we first evaluate your gums to see how much shrinkage has occurred and how loose the denture has become. We can take impressions chairside or with traditional methods, reline the denture in our lab, and have it ready for you to pick up in about 2–3 hours.
For denture repairs, you can walk in, drop the denture off, or wait in the office. Most simple repairs, such as replacing a tooth or fixing a minor fracture, are completed in about an hour. If it’s a more complex repair, we’ll provide an estimated timeframe after an evaluation. Even then, almost all repairs are finished the same day.
Our goal is to keep treatment efficient and convenient so you’re not without your denture longer than necessary.
If you or someone you love is struggling with missing teeth or loose dentures, contact Big Sky Dentures & Implants in Missoula, MT, for a mini implant consultation to learn how our life-changing treatments can enhance your smile, improve your function, and restore your self-confidence.

Your gums and jawbone keep changing after tooth loss, though, so most dentures need adjustments and relines along the way, and some need replacing sooner. At Big [...]

Denture adhesive can make a good denture feel more secure, seal out food particles, and give you extra confidence when you eat or speak in public. Used the right way, a small amount is all you need. Used to hold a loose denture in place, though, adhesive becomes a band-aid for a fit problem. At Big Sky Dentures in [...]
Affordable dentures should mean more than the lowest price on a flyer. For most people, truly affordable dentures are ones that fit well, are covered as much as your benefits allow, and do not lead to a string of extra visits, remakes, or sore spots later. At Big Sky Dentures in Missoula, MT, our focus is affordable, same-day denture [...]
Flexible dentures are removable partial dentures made from a thin, bendable resin, usually a type of nylon, instead of rigid acrylic and metal. Because the base and clasps can be tinted to match your gums, flexible dentures can replace missing teeth without the flash of metal that some people dislike about traditional partials. They can be an excellent choice [...]
