Why Reline Your Dentures?

The bones in your mouth move and change over time, causing your dental implants to suddenly feel tight or uncomfortable. To allow for proper chewing, speaking and smiling, you’ll need to have your denture adjusted to keep up with the shift in your jawbone. If your denture is not relined, it can contribute to the wearing down of your bone and gums more quickly. This erosion can be minimized by relining your dentures.

A denture reline can be considered soft or hard, depending upon how it’s performed on your denture. A soft reline can be done chairside so that you won’t be without your denture at all. However, it might require multiple visits and relines because of its soft, porous nature. A hard reline requires more time to complete because it’s usually sent out to a lab to redo the hardened base material. This means you will be without your denture for a period but it should last longer than a soft reline overall.

Types of Denture Relines

There are two types of denture relines - hard and soft. The first step of having your dentures adjusted is to get an impression of your mouth. When this has hardened, it will be used to create the base for your dentures. In a hard denture reline, the impression is replaced with hard acrylic that perfectly forms to your mouth. You’ll want a hard reline every two years as it provides the most hold.Soft denture relines are used for patients whose gums are too sensitive for a hard reline. Instead of hard acrylic, we’ll use a softer and more flexible material for the base of your dentures. To maintain the proper fit of your dentures and due to the malleable nature of soft relines, you’ll need to get your dentures adjusted more frequently.
