DENTURE RELINES IN CALGARY
At Alberta Dentures, we provide denture relines in Calgary to help restore comfort, stability, and daily function without always needing a new denture.
What Are Denture Relines?
A denture reline reshapes the underside of your denture so it fits more closely against your gums. By adding new material to the denture base, a reline helps fill small gaps that develop as your mouth naturally changes over time.
As your gums and jawbone gradually change, dentures may begin to feel loose, unstable, or uncomfortable. A professional denture reline can help improve retention and fit, reducing slipping, irritation, and sore spots while making it easier to eat and speak with confidence.
Regular relines can also help extend the life of your dentures by maintaining a proper fit and preventing uneven pressure on your gums. With a more secure and comfortable fit, you can enjoy improved daily comfort and function.
Types of Denture Relines
Denture relines are recommended based on your gum sensitivity, denture fit, and healing needs. The right option can help improve comfort, reduce movement, and support better daily function.
Soft Relines
Add a cushioned layer to the underside of the denture for sensitive gums, tender tissue, or ongoing sore spots. This option can make daily wear more comfortable when a firm denture base feels irritating.
Hard Relines
Reshape the denture base with firm material for a more stable, longer-lasting fit. This option is often used when the denture is still in good condition but no longer fits closely against the gums.
Temporary Relines
Provide short-term comfort while gums heal, adjust, or recover after treatment. This option may be recommended after extractions, irritation, or changes in the mouth before a more permanent reline.
The Denture Reline Process
The denture reline process is designed to improve how your denture fits against your gums while reducing looseness, pressure points, and daily discomfort.
