Restorative Denture Relines
Over time, your gums and mouth change, which can cause your dentures to lose their secure fit. As your gum tissues naturally change due to factors like aging or bone loss, dentures can shift and become uncomfortable or difficult to wear. To maintain comfort and functionality, it's important to have your dentures professionally relined every one to two years. Relining your dentures ensures that they stay securely in place, preventing discomfort and keeping your dentures working optimally for daily activities like speaking and eating.
Durable For Long Term Dental Health
At Crystal Clear Dental Spa, we offer several types of denture relines to meet your specific needs. A hard denture reline is ideal for full dentures, typically performed every two years, to maintain a precise fit. During a hard reline, we remove a layer of plastic from your dentures and apply a putty-like material that conforms to your gum contours, providing a perfect fit. The dentures are then sent to a lab for adjustment to the new shape of your gums. For patients with tender gums or sore spots, a soft denture reline may be recommended. This reline uses a pliable material that remains flexible for one to two years before requiring a replacement. It is gentler on your gums and reduces the chances of irritation and discomfort, making it a suitable option for those with sensitive mouth tissues. If it's been a while since your dentures were serviced, your gums might be swollen or misshapen, making it difficult to take an accurate impression for a permanent reline. In these cases, a temporary or palliative reline is recommended to reduce inflammation and allow your gums to return to a more natural shape. This provides short-term relief until a permanent hard or soft reline can be done. At Crystal Clear Dental Spa, we’re committed to ensuring your dentures fit comfortably and securely, no matter your unique needs. Our denture reline services help keep your dentures functional, preventing discomfort and ensuring that you maintain a confident smile.
