Denture Relines

Denture Relining

Relining a denture is often a quick process that takes under an hour to complete.

Your dentist will first inspect your mouth during your appointment to determine the extent of discomfort there is. The dentist can suggest a temporary reline while your mouth heals and let you come back later for the permanent reline if there are major sores or swelling caused by the poorly fitting dentures.

Your dentist will polish your dentures and remove a little amount of material from the denture plate before performing a permanent reline. The dentist will apply the soft or firm relining resin to the dentures after removing material from regions that are irritating your mouth.

Soft Relines

Due to sensitive gums or uncomfortable places, some people can’t wear standard dentures. Relining the denture with a substance that remains flexible for one to two years before needing to be replaced may be a solution. Compared to traditional hard reline acrylic, this material is significantly less likely to cause the patient to develop uncomfortable patches. Patients who are having similar issues should also think about implant-retained dentures as a more long-term alternative.

Temporary Relines

A patient’s gums may be red, puffy, or deformed if dentures haven’t been maintained in a while. This makes it difficult to take impressions for a new hard or soft reline and might result in a denture that exacerbates the issue. To let the inflammation go down, a temporary reline material may be advised. This reline, which is often soft and flexible, tightens the denture’s fit considerably. The gums revert to a more normal state after a few weeks. After that, the patient is prepared to get their new denture.

Benefits of Relining

Many problems that you would believe would necessitate replacing your dentures are often resolved by denture relining. The main factors that lead many patients to think about relining are sores, irritability, and general discomfort. Your relined dentures may make it simpler for you to chew, and it can help stop slurs, lisps, and other speech problems brought on by poor denture fit. Relining costs less money than purchasing a new set of dentures.Even if you follow a great dental hygiene regimen, your mouth will eventually alter its form. The greatest option to modernise an outdated set of dentures so they fit properly for the rest of your life is through denture relining. Dental Reflections can perform denture relining to restore the original fit of your dentures if they no longer fit comfortably.
