Denture Relines

Over time, your dentures may become loose or uncomfortable due to natural changes of nature that cause the shape of our gums and jawbone to shrink .A denture reline is important as it helps keep the denture fitting in our mouth, extends the life of the denture and helps prevent breakages. At Rockhampton Denture Clinic, we offer professional denture relining services to ensure that your dentures function effectively through restoring fit, vertical and bite registrations.

Types of Denture Relines

There are three types of denture relines:

1. Soft Denture Relines: Soft relines involve adding a soft, pliable material to the inner surface of your dentures to provide cushioning and relieve pressure on your gums. Soft relines are often recommended for patients with sensitive gums or sore spots.
2. Hard Denture Relines: Hard relines involve adding a hard, durable material to the base of your dentures to improve their fit and stability. Hard relines are more long-lasting and provide a better fit for patients with significant changes in their oral anatomy.
3. Temporary Relines: Temporary reline places a soft material inside your dentures. This helps reduce soreness and irritation caused by ill fitting dentures.They are meant to be a short term solution whilst you heal.

Signs you may need a reline : If your dentures are loose, frequent sores or infections, difficulty speaking or severe pain in your jaw, contact us to schedule a denture reline appointment.
