Denture Reline Services

Due to the natural changing of the jaw structure, it’s necessary for denture wearers to have a denture reline from time to time.

If your dentures have started to feel uncomfortable or ill-fitting, this is a good indication that it is time to reline your full dentures.

If you would like to schedule an appointment to have your denture reline done, give Smile Bright Dentures a call. Our trusted denturist would be more than happy to reline your dentures and get them feeling comfortable again.

What is a Denture Reline?

The reline denture procedure is when your dentures are reshaped to comfortably fit your gums. Denture relines come in either soft or hard versions and may be completed in a denturist clinic or in a lab, depending on the complexity.

Types of Relines Explained

At Smile Bright Dentures, we offer both soft and hard denture relines to meet the diverse needs of our patients. Understanding the differences between these two options can help you make the best choice for your denture needs:

Soft Relines: Ideal for patients with sensitive gums or who are prone to sore spots, soft relines use a pliable material that provides cushioning between the denture and your gum tissue. This option is particularly beneficial right after tooth extraction or when significant gum resorption has occurred, as it can absorb some of the pressure exerted on the gums. Soft relines are more comfortable but may require more frequent replacement—typically every one to two years.
Hard Relines: Made from a more durable material, hard relines are designed for long-term use and are usually recommended for stable dentures that require minor adjustments. This type of reline is perfect for those who need a stronger, more permanent solution and is generally done every two to four years. Hard relines are less cushioned but offer a more stable and secure fit, which can enhance the overall function of the dentures.

Both types of relines are crucial for ensuring that your dentures continue to fit properly as your mouth’s shape changes over time. Choosing the right type of reline depends on your specific needs, comfort preferences, and the condition of your gums.

Our skilled denturists at Smile Bright Dentures are here to guide you through your options and ensure that your dentures provide the best possible fit and function.

Whether you need a soft reline for added comfort or a hard reline for enhanced durability, we are committed to personalizing your denture care.

Benefits of Denture Relines

Regular denture relines are essential for maintaining not only the comfort but also the overall functionality of your dentures. Here’s how you can benefit from our denture reline services at Smile Bright Dentures:

Improved Comfort: Relining helps eliminate gaps caused by gum resorption, thus reducing the rubbing and discomfort that come with ill-fitting dentures.
Enhanced Speech Clarity: Ill-fitting dentures can slip within the mouth, causing speech difficulties. A well-fitted denture after denture relining improves articulation, making it easier to speak clearly and confidently.
Increased Chewing Efficiency: With dentures that fit perfectly, you can enjoy a wider variety of foods and chew more effectively, which can improve digestion and overall health.
Reduced Oral Irritation: By fitting snugly to the gums, relined dentures decrease the risk of sores and infections, providing a healthier environment for your oral tissues.
Prolonged Denture Life: Regular relining can extend the life of your dentures by preventing damage from excessive movement, ensuring that you get the most out of your investment.
Boosted Self-Esteem: When your dentures fit well, they look more natural, which can greatly enhance your smile and boost your confidence in social and professional settings.

At Smile Bright Dentures, we understand the importance of a comfortable and functional denture. If you’re experiencing discomfort or notice changes in the fit of your dentures, consider scheduling a reline appointment. Our expert denturists are here to restore your dentures’ fit and your quality of life.

Denture Reline Cost

Denture Reline Procedure

If you are curious to understand the reline denture procedure, here is a brief breakdown of the reline denture procedure:

The dentures will first be removed from their plastic fitting.
A new impression of your gums will be taken to ensure a comfortable new fit is achieved.
A new denture base will be created from the new impression material of your gums.
Your relined dentures will be inserted to ensure that they fit comfortably, just like your natural teeth would.

If you have any additional questions about the denture reline procedure, give Smile Bright Dentures a call to speak with a qualified denturist.

How Long Does a Soft Denture Reline Last

Soft denture relines are the more comfortable option than hard denture relines. A denture soft reline has more padding to prevent gum tenderness or soreness. A soft reline denture will usually last up to two years before needing to be replaced.

If you have had your soft denture reline for more than two years and think that your new dentures are due for a reline, give Smile Bright Dentures a call today.
