A Rebase of your Existing Denture—like a Reline—is done when your denture—a Full (complete) Denture or a Partial Denture—has become loose due to gum shrinkage and bone resorption over time. A Rebase extends the life of your dentures by ensuring they once again fit well and comfortably.
A Rebase differs from a Reline in that the entire pink acrylic base of the denture is removed and a new denture base is made—similarly based on new impressions that provide the exact current shape of your jaw bones and gums, and the tissues between them. Unlike a Reline in which your denturist adds a Permanent Liner into the underside of your existing denture base based on new impressions, with a Rebase just adding a new Permanent Liner is not recommended due to the fact that the existing denture base is in too bad a shape to allow a successful Reline (probably because it keeps cracking), but the teeth themselves are still in good-enough shape so you don’t need the fabrication of a New Denture.
Like a Reline, a Rebase allows your denture to fit in your mouth more securely and comfortably, but the new base means a Rebase is almost like having a brand new denture, except for the teeth themselves.
Note that a rebase requires an appointment.
The 3 Stages of Doing a Rebase: (1) the denture with the old, brittle, cracked denture base, (2) the old base removed, and (3) the completed rebased denture—almost like brand new!

A Rebase does exactly that: the denturist removes the entire pink acrylic base of the denture (full denture, acrylic partial denture or cast partial denture) and remakes the base (hence, “re-base”) based on the impressions of your mouth on that first appointment, so that it fits excellently again like brand new the next day:
