Denture Relines
Denture Relines
As your gums naturally change over time, dentures can become loose, causing discomfort, irritation, and difficulty eating or speaking. A custom denture reline restores the fit of your existing denture, helping it feel secure and comfortable again.
Hard Denture Reline
A hard denture reline restores the fit of your dentures by replacing the inner surface with durable acrylic that conforms to your current gum shape. As your gums and jawbone naturally change over time, dentures can become loose, making it difficult to eat, speak, and smile comfortably.
This long-lasting solution provides a secure, stable fit while improving comfort, chewing efficiency, and speech. A hard denture reline also helps reduce irritation, minimizes denture movement, and extends the life of your existing dentures—restoring confidence without the need for a new denture.
Soft Denture Reline
A soft denture reline adds a flexible, cushioned lining to the inside of your denture, making it an excellent option for patients with sensitive gums, sore spots, or ongoing discomfort. The soft material absorbs pressure, reduces irritation, and provides a gentler, more comfortable fit throughout the day.
Soft denture relines are ideal for patients with receding gums, tender oral tissues, or those adjusting to new dentures.
Temporary Denture Relines
When Is a Temporary Denture Reline Recommended?
A temporary denture reline may be recommended if you experience:
- Swollen, tender, or irritated gums
- Loose dentures following tooth extractions
- Discomfort while wearing your dentures
- Difficulty achieving a proper denture fit during healing
- Pressure points, sore spots, or gum irritation
Once your gums have fully healed, we may recommend a permanent hard or soft denture reline to restore long-term comfort, stability, and chewing function while extending the life of your dentures.
