Denture Reline
Denture reline is the solution for loose dentures. In simple terms, denture reline refers to a procedure performed to make adjustments or improvements to your existing dentures. Over time, the shape of your gums and jawbone can change, which may cause your dentures to become loose or uncomfortable. Denture relines involve adding new material to the base of your dentures to guarantee a snug and secure fit.
So if you feel that you need a bit of adjustment you can even reach out for an emergency denture repair.
To get the best fit and comfort from your denture and maximum suction, the denture needs to fit closely and evenly on your gums and ridges.
The reason for a denture reline, is that the base of the denture is no longer a close fit to the gums on which it rests, which can cause rocking, trauma, pain and looseness. This is generally caused by small changes that have occur in your gum tissue over a period of time.
These changes may arise from:
- Resorbing bone in the jaw.
- Weight loss.
- Age and condition of denture.
- Infection in the gums and bone.
- The gums and bone healing after a tooth extraction.
The benefits of a denture reline are:
- Restore the stability and retention of your denture.
- Experience improved comfort and confidence
- Improve function and achieve better lip support
There are three basic types of denture reline:
- Standard reline – this uses the same hard acrylic material as the denture itself.
- Soft reline – this is, as the name suggests a softer lining inside the lower denture which improves comfort in situations where a conventional hard acrylic can be sore.
- Temporary reline – This is used when you have had teeth extracted. During the healing phase, whilst changes are still being seen to your gums a temporary reline material can be used to improve the fit. This short-term soft lining material has a cushioning effect and helps distribute pressure more evenly to your gums. This promotes healing before a more durable, longer term lining, is put into your denture.
Please note that while a denture reline will greatly improve your comfort and function, it will not change your appearance
