Professional Denture Relining Services

Denture Relining requires having a dental impression taken of your mouth using your current denture as an impression tray to capture the new shape of your gums.  This is sometimes needed because your gums and your bone naturally shrink over time after tooth loss.  This technique doesn’t alter the appearance of your dentures; it simply adapts the base of the denture to fit the changing shape of your gums.

Denture relining restores the comfortable, secure fit of your current dentures by reshaping the underside of the base to match the changing contours of your gums.

Our Denture Relining Options

There are two main types of denture relining: hard relines and soft relines.  

We customize our reline treatments to match your specific comfort needs and lifestyle:

• Hard Denture Reline: The most permanent solution. We remove a layer of the old plastic base and replace it with a brand-new, durable acrylic layer that perfectly mirrors your current gum shape. Recommended every 1 to 2 years.

• Soft Denture Reline: Ideal for patients with highly sensitive gums or chronic sore spots. We use a pliable, medical-grade silicone material that acts as a shock absorber for maximum comfort.

What to Expect: The Relining Process

• Impression Taking: We place a custom impression material inside your existing denture to capture the exact, updated shape of your ridges.

• Precision Reshaping:
  • Laboratory Reline: Processed by us in our dental lab for maximum durability (typically ready within 24–72 hours).

• Final Fitting & Adjustment: We check your bite alignment to ensure absolute comfort and no pressure points.
