Denture Relines

Denture Relines

Over time, your gums and jawbone naturally change, causing dentures to become loose or uncomfortable. Even well-fitting dentures may need adjustments as your mouth changes after tooth loss.

A denture reline reshapes the inner surface of your denture to match your current gum contours for a more secure fit. This simple procedure improves comfort, stability, chewing, and speaking while reducing irritation and unwanted movement.

Hard Denture Reline

A hard denture reline restores the fit of your dentures by reshaping the inner surface to match the current contours of your gums. As your gums and jawbone naturally change over time, dentures may become loose or unstable. A hard reline provides a secure, comfortable fit and improves overall function.

During the procedure, the inner lining of your denture is replaced with durable new material that closely adapts to your gum tissue. Your denture is then adjusted for improved stability, comfort, chewing ability, and long-lasting performance.

Soft Denture Reline

A soft denture reline is ideal for patients with sore gums, tenderness, or discomfort while wearing dentures. It uses a soft, flexible lining that cushions your gums, reduces pressure points, and provides a more comfortable fit.

Soft relines are often recommended for patients with sensitive gum tissue, receding gums, or those who struggle with traditional dentures. The soft lining improves comfort, stability, and confidence while making everyday activities like eating and speaking easier.

Temporary Relines

Temporary denture relines are used when gums are swollen, irritated, or healing after extractions or dental treatment. A soft medicated lining is placed inside the denture to improve comfort, protect healing tissues, and provide a better fit during recovery.

When a Temporary Reline May Be Recommended

A temporary reline may be recommended if you experience:

  • Swollen or irritated gums
  • Loose dentures after tooth extractions
  • Discomfort from everyday denture wear
  • Difficulty achieving a proper fit during healing
  • Pressure spots or sore areas

Once your gums have healed, a permanent hard or soft denture reline may be recommended for long-term comfort, stability, and function.
