What is a denture reline?

A denture reline is a process that involves adding new material to the inside of a denture to improve its fit and feel. This is necessary when the shape of your mouth or gums has changed due to natural changes in the aging process, dental work, or other factors.

Full denture reline: A full denture reline is used for patients who wear complete dentures, which replace all of their natural teeth on the upper or lower jaw. We will take impressions of your mouth to create a custom-fit reline that will provide a secure and comfortable fit.

Partial denture reline: A partial denture reline is used for patients who wear partial dentures, which replace some of their natural teeth. We will take impressions of your mouth and your remaining natural teeth to create a custom-fit reline that will fit seamlessly with your natural teeth and gums.

Benefits of a denture reline:

• Improved fit and comfort: A properly fitting denture will be more comfortable to wear and will help to prevent irritation or discomfort.
• Improved stability: A stable denture will be less likely to slip or move, which can improve your ability to speak and eat comfortably.
• Improved oral health: A properly fitting denture will help to maintain proper oral hygiene and can reduce the risk of gum irritation or infection.
