As the body grows with age, changes in the mouth are pretty much inevitable. As a result, dentures may not fit the same as they used to before, which is why it is needed.

It involves replacing a certain amount of acrylic material as needed, which helps make the item a lot more comfortable. A can be of two types:

Hard Reline
Soft Reline

They can be performed by different types of medical professionals depending on the type of reline and how sophisticated it may be.

Denture Reline Options Provided by Us

There are different types of relining that patients may need. If you are unsure which is the right one for you, then feel free to discuss your needs with our experts. We mainly offer three different types of denture relines for our patients.

Hard Reline

It is a bit more sophisticated and usually performed in a dental lab. Our experts use firm acrylic (which is similar to the base of the original denture) to maintain aesthetics and restore functionality. The results are more durable, making it a better long-term solution for you.

Soft Reline

It involves the use of a permanent, silicone-based soft relining material, which makes the dentures more comfortable and fit better. Unlike temporary "chairside" relines, it uses a heat-cured material processed in a specialized dental lab.

Tissue Conditioning Reline

This can be performed in the office as well by a prosthetist, making it a lot more convenient for the patient. It generally involves softer and more flexible materials, so it is suitable for patients with sensitive or sore gums. While we normally recommend temporary use, they can last for several months with good care, and also promote localized tissue healing as well.

Our 3-Step Process What to Expect

Our denture reline service is quick, affordable, and effective. We make sure that our procedures are simple and easy to implement for your convenience. Getting a reline is a little bit different from getting a new denture altogether. Regardless, we encourage clear and open communication to help you find the best solutions for you.

Impression Collection

The dentist will first check the bite and fit of the denture to detect and understand the nature of the issue. If they decide to proceed further, then a new impression is taken inside the current dentures. This gives us a better perspective on the matter.

Modifying the Surface

New material is used to resurface the inner parts of the oral appliance. This helps improve its structure and form to improve its shelf life and make it better for regular use.

Finishing

The last touches are finally added to the oral item, like minor adjustments in the design or polishing to make it ready to use for you. Once the patient is satisfied with the design, the item is handed over to them.

Real Reviews From Real Users Sharing Their Journey With Us

Dr. Francois is very easy going, he really understood my concerns and reassured me that there wasn’t anything to worry about by getting dentures made for my father. He constantly reassured my father through the whole process and made a immaculate full denture. My Father hasn’t stopped smiling since he got his full se if dentures from Francois at FBA Dental Services. Once again thank you Francois, we both really appreciate your time, patience and flexibility.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my dentures need relining or replacement?

It depends on the nature and severity of the damage. If the prosthetist feels the issue is minor can be resolved through small tweaks, then relining is a good option. However, the changes needed are a bit drastic and difficult to implement, so replacements make more sense. Also, the type of denture matters too, as some of them cannot be relined easily.

How long does a denture reline procedure usually take?

Getting relines for dentures can be completed within a matter of hours or a few days, depending on the type of reline that is required. Tissue Conditioning Reline is quicker and can be performed within the clinic and completed on the same day. On the other hand,soft relines and hard relines are performed in a lab and may take 1-2 days to complete.

What is the difference between a soft denture reline and a hard denture reline?

Soft relines are simpler, quicker, can be performed in the clinic, and their reline kits are easily available. Hard relines are more sophisticated, take a bit, can only be performed in a lab, and require specialized kits that can only be used by experts.

How much does denture relining typically cost?

The exact price of getting relines for dentures varies by patient, depending upon how much work the denture requires and other relevant factors. You can call us and consult our experts to help determine the exact costs of the entire procedure.

How long does a denture reline last before it needs to be done again?

It depends on the type of denture reline used by the patient. For soft relines, you may need to have them done every 1 or 2 years. With hard relines, it can be after every 2-4 years as they generally last longer.

Will relining my dentures make them more comfortable and stable?

Yes, it can lead to significant improvements in comfort and stability for you. It is important to be clear and communicate well with the prosthetist to get the best fit and functionality for you.

Do I need to stop wearing my dentures after getting them relined?

In most cases, you can start using them soon after getting a denture reline, but it is always safer to consult your prosthetist and dentist. It gives you a better perspective and is a more sensible option.

Can old or loose dentures be fixed with relining instead of making new dentures?

Yes, they can, but it may not always be recommended. It is always better to consult an expert before making the final decision.
