Due to the natural changing of the jaw structure, it’s necessary for denture wearers to have a denture reline from time to time. 

If your dentures have started to feel uncomfortable or ill-fitting, this is a good indication that it is time to reline your full dentures. 

If you would like to schedule an appointment to have your denture reline done, give Smile Bright Dentures a call. Our trusted denturist would be more than happy to reline your dentures and get them feeling comfortable again.

What is a Denture Reline?

The reline denture procedure is when your dentures are reshaped to comfortably fit your gums. Denture relines come in either soft or hard versions and may be completed in a denturist clinic or in a lab, depending on the complexity.

Types of Relines Explained

At Smile Bright Dentures, we offer both soft and hard denture relines to meet the diverse needs of our patients. Understanding the differences between these two options can help you make the best choice for your denture needs:

  • Soft Relines: Ideal for patients with sensitive gums or who are prone to sore spots, soft relines use a pliable material that provides cushioning between the denture and your gum tissue. This option is particularly beneficial right after tooth extraction or when significant gum resorption has occurred, as it can absorb some of the pressure exerted on the gums. Soft relines are more comfortable but may require more frequent replacement—typically every one to two years.
  • Hard Relines: Made from a more durable material, hard relines are designed for long-term use and are usually recommended for stable dentures that require minor adjustments. This type of reline is perfect for those who need a stronger, more permanent solution and is generally done every two to four years. Hard relines are less cushioned but offer a more stable and secure fit, which can enhance the overall function of the dentures.

Both types of relines are crucial for ensuring that your dentures continue to fit properly as your mouth’s shape changes over time. Choosing the right type of reline depends on your specific needs, comfort preferences, and the condition of your gums.

Our skilled denturists at Smile Bright Dentures are here to guide you through your options and ensure that your dentures provide the best possible fit and function.

Whether you need a soft reline for added comfort or a hard reline for enhanced durability, we are committed to personalizing your denture care.

Benefits of Denture Relines

Regular denture relines are essential for maintaining not only the comfort but also the overall functionality of your dentures. Here’s how you can benefit from our denture reline services at Smile Bright Dentures:

  • Improved Comfort: Relining helps eliminate gaps caused by gum resorption, thus reducing the rubbing and discomfort that come with ill-fitting dentures.
  • Enhanced Speech Clarity: Ill-fitting dentures can slip within the mouth, causing speech difficulties. A well-fitted denture after denture relining improves articulation, making it easier to speak clearly and confidently.
  • Increased Chewing Efficiency: With dentures that fit perfectly, you can enjoy a wider variety of foods and chew more effectively, which can improve digestion and overall health.
  • Reduced Oral Irritation: By fitting snugly to the gums, relined dentures decrease the risk of sores and infections, providing a healthier environment for your oral tissues.
  • Prolonged Denture Life: Regular relining can extend the life of your dentures by preventing damage from excessive movement, ensuring that you get the most out of your investment.
  • Boosted Self-Esteem: When your dentures fit well, they look more natural, which can greatly enhance your smile and boost your confidence in social and professional settings.

At Smile Bright Dentures, we understand the importance of a comfortable and functional denture. If you’re experiencing discomfort or notice changes in the fit of your dentures, consider scheduling a reline appointment. Our expert denturists are here to restore your dentures’ fit and your quality of life.

Denture Reline Procedure

If you are curious to understand the reline denture procedure, here is a brief breakdown of the reline denture procedure:

  1. The dentures will first be removed from their plastic fitting.
  2. A new impression of your gums will be taken to ensure a comfortable new fit is achieved. 
  3. A new denture base will be created from the new impression material of your gums. 
  4. Your relined dentures will be inserted to ensure that they fit comfortably, just like your natural teeth would. 

If you have any additional questions about the denture reline procedure, give Smile Bright Dentures a call to speak with a qualified denturist.

How Long Does a Soft Denture Reline Last

Soft denture relines are the more comfortable option than hard denture relines. A denture soft reline has more padding to prevent gum tenderness or soreness. A soft reline denture will usually last up to two years before needing to be replaced.

If you have had your soft denture reline for more than two years and think that your new dentures are due for a reline, give Smile Bright Dentures a call today.

Denture Reline – FAQs

1. Why might I need a denture reline?

You may need a reline if your dentures start to feel loose or uncomfortable due to natural changes in the gum and bone over time. Tooth loss causes gradual bone resorption, and a reline helps your denture fit your current mouth shape more securely.

2. How often should dentures be relined?

Most patients benefit from a reline every 1–2 years, depending on the rate of change in their oral tissues. However, the exact timing varies from person to person. A consultation can help determine when a reline is appropriate.

3. Does a denture reline hurt?

A reline itself is not painful. If your gums are sore from ill-fitting dentures, the new fit often provides relief. Any adjustments are made carefully to avoid irritation.

4. How long does a denture reline take?

A standard in-office reline can often be completed on the same day, depending on the type and condition of the denture. More complex cases may require laboratory work and additional time.

5. Will a reline make my dentures feel like new again?

A reline significantly improves the fit and comfort of your current dentures, but it does not change their age, appearance, or structural wear. If your denture is very old or damaged, replacement may be a better long-term solution.

6. What signs indicate it’s time for a reline?

Common indicators include: Loose or shifting dentures, Gum irritation or sore spots, Difficulty chewing, Dentures clicking while speaking, and increased use of denture adhesive.

7. Can I reline my dentures at home?

Over-the-counter reline kits are available but not recommended. They often lead to poor fit and discomfort, and can damage the denture. A professional reline ensures accuracy, safety, and long-lasting results.

8. Will I need to be without my dentures during the reline?

For most soft or chairside hard relines, you can leave with your denture the same day. Lab-based relines may require a short waiting period, which your denturist will explain beforehand.

9. How do I take care of my dentures after a relining?

Care is the same as before: Clean daily with a denture-safe cleanser, Soak overnight as recommended, and Avoid hot water, which can warp the denture. Routine checkups also help maintain a proper fit.

10. Is a reline the same as a denture repair?

No. A reline updates the internal fit of the denture, while a repair fixes cracks, breaks, or broken teeth. Some patients require both, depending on the condition of their denture.

I have already left a review but cannot find it under reviews but I am so happy about my experience that I wanted to make sure that others can see my experience with Smile Bright.
I live over 250 miles round trip and it was worth every mile I drove … Doug was there when I finally arrived. I believe Doug skipped his lunch to make sure I was taken care of.
Smile Bright is the definition of Customer Service.
Doug fitted me and the dentures were perfect, beautiful.
From the first call my wife made until I picked my dentures up these guys were top notch. I would recommend Smile Bright to anyone that needed dentures for the first time, to any kind of repairs. George and Doug have a customer for life.

Layla G.

Called Smile Bright in a panic on Tuesday when my Mom cracked her denture and had a special event on Friday that she couldn’t attend without her teeth. Even though they were all booked up, George was so understanding about our predicament.  He managed to squeeze Mom in for the next day, right after lunch.  He asked some questions about the nature of the damage and gave me an estimate over the phone.  He even gave me great directions on how to get there!

Brad W.

Doug Pham is the man! He did a repair for me in record time for a good price. Omni in Everett could not help me and neither could European denture. I’m glad I went to see Doug. Made my day. Thank you.

Rob P.

Amazing service truly professional! Highly recommend! Thank you Mr Pham love my new smile!

Gale W.

Doug and George – the dynamic duo that keeps me “Smiling Bright”! Recently my old “flipper” broke, exposing the gaping space of my lower four front teeth and the inability to bite anything firmer than bread. Empathetic to my needs, George had me scheduled within 24 hours.

He carefully explained my denture options without trying to sell me on one product or another. His knowledge made my decision easier. Doug informed me each step in the process, including teeth color choice…

…This was my second visit to Smile Bright and with their help, I always do. I have received the highest quality customer care and exceptional service

Cheryl Y.

I had a very awesome experience at Smile Bright Dentures.I didn’t have an appointment but decided to take a chance by just walking in. George and Doug were great! I had a broken wire on my front tooth flipper which was quite an emergency to me. They went to work right away! I walked out in a little over an hour! My flipper was fixed! It actually looks better with the added touch that Doug added to the tooth itself and the fit is even more comfortable than ever. I highly recommend Smile Bright Dentures. Fast, friendly, knowledgeable, reasonable, expert detailed workmanship!
Thank you Smile Bright Dentures! 😁😁

My husband Tim needed to fix his top denture right away and George got him in the next day. The doctor was fast and great at what he does. George was very informative about the process, costs, different types of dentures available. My husband will definitely go back and get what the office suggested. BEST PLACE TO GET YOUR DENTURES DONE!!!

Shirley W.

My husband had a great experience with Smile Bright Dentures. He thought he would have to have a new upper plate made to replace his old one. All he needed was a reline. The work was completed in a couple of hours. He was so pleased with great fit. George and Doug were so helpful and answered all our questions. We have recommended them to everyone we know who has dentures.

David B.

The team at Smile Bright was awesome. Dr. Doug did a fantastic job on my dentures. My smile hasn’t looked this nice in twenty years. I would highly recommend Smile Bright to anyone needing dentures. Thanks Guys.

Ashley C.

Love these guys. George an Doug are awesome. I had a bottom partial that had been fixed and need another partial. They helped me choose a very comfortable piece. The first patial that was sent off to be made was a little crooked so Doug made some adjustments to the next mold and the second one is perfect!!! I’m able to eat food I never could eat with the piece I had. They are both very helpful and I’m so happy I came here. They really took care of us. My husband is now getting his new partial
Wouldn’t go anywhere else. Thanks guys!!!
