Over time, changes in your gums and jawbone can alter the fit of your dentures, making them feel loose or uncomfortable. To maintain a secure and comfortable fit, dentures should be professionally relined every one to two years. This process ensures they conform properly to your mouth and provide optimal function.
For full dentures, a hard reline is recommended every two years. This procedure involves removing a thin layer of material from the inner surface of the denture and replacing it with a custom-fitted resin. This adjustment enhances the fit and stability of the denture, allowing for a more natural and comfortable feel.
Some patients experience sensitivity or sore spots from standard dentures. A soft reline uses a pliable, cushioned material that adapts to the gums while maintaining a snug fit. This type of reline can last one to two years and is ideal for those with tender gums or chronic discomfort.
If your gums are swollen, irritated, or have changed significantly over time, a temporary reline may be necessary before proceeding with a permanent reline. This process involves applying a medicated material to the denture to soothe inflammation and allow for proper healing. After a few weeks, once the gums return to a stable condition, a hard or soft reline can be performed.
Ensure your dentures provide the best fit possible. Call (954) 787-6469 today or schedule an appointment online to learn more about professional denture relining at Tarpon River Dental.
