Denture relining is a process that involves reshaping the underside of a denture to improve its fit. Over time, the shape of your gums and the underlying bone can change, causing your dentures to become loose or uncomfortable. Relining involves adding new material to the denture base to create a more accurate fit against your gums. This process can help extend the life of your dentures, improve comfort and prevent irritation or sores that can occur when a denture no longer fits properly. Denture relining can be done for both full and partial dentures and it is typically recommended when the fit of the denture has changed significantly.

Dentures should typically be relined every one to two years, depending on how much the shape of your gums and bone structure has changed. If you notice that your dentures are becoming loose or uncomfortable or if you develop sores or irritation, it may be time for a reline. Regular dental check-ups are important to monitor the fit of your dentures and to determine the best time for relining. Some people may need relining more frequently due to rapid changes in their oral tissues, while others may find that their dentures fit well for several years before a reline is needed.

There are two main types of denture relining: soft reline and hard reline. A soft reline uses a flexible, soft material that stays pliable and provides extra comfort for those with sensitive gums or who notice discomfort with a hard reline. The soft material acts as a cushion, making the denture more comfortable to wear, especially for those with tender gums or newly healed gums. A hard reline, on the other hand, involves using a more rigid material similar to the original denture base. This type of reline offers a longer-lasting solution and is often recommended for those who prefer a firmer fit.
