Are you feeling uncomfortable with your dentures? Then it’s time for a denture reline or denture rebase. Richmond Denture Clinic is an expert in both and can offer you a custom fit to improve your confidence and quality of life.
What is a Denture Reline?
After years of daily use, you may feel that your dentures may not fit well as they used to as they lose their grip in your mouth. This is a sign that it is time to visit your nearest denture clinic for a denture reline. During the process, we will provide you with a fitting for proper dentures without replacing them entirely.

Soft Denture Reline
We use temporary tissue conditioners for immediate dentures to provide relief from sore spots and improve comfort. These tissue conditioners are ideal for patients with sensitive gums or those who have recently undergone dental surgery, as they offer a cushioning effect and better fit. Soft denture relines are a temporary solution, typically lasting three to six months, and require regular replacement to maintain their effectiveness.
Hard Denture Reline
A hard denture reline involves reshaping the base of your denture with a durable acrylic material to ensure a snug fit against your gums. This type of reline is ideal for long-term use, providing a stable and comfortable fit that can last for several years. Hard relines are particularly beneficial for patients who do not have sensitive gums and are looking for a more permanent solution to ill-fitting dentures.
Possible Causes for a Denture Reline
The following are some frequent symptoms that suggest the need for denture reline:
- Post Immediate Dentures
- Bone loss in the upper or lower jaw
- Tooth Loss
- Sickness or disease
- Weight loss
The bite position, existing teeth, and acrylic base(s) must be in good condition and not worn or stained to provide a reline procedure. An impression of your oral tissue is taken inside your denture(s) to provide a working model. The new acrylic base material is added to your denture to produce a correct fit. The appearance of your dentures will not change. With rebases, Denturists in most cases have no way of trying the denture(s). The procedure is similar to relining. The difference is that a rebase replaces all the pink-acrylic denture base material. The existing teeth remain in the exact same place.

Reasons For Rebasing Procedure
If all the denture teeth are still in good condition, but notice that the acrylic’s condition is declining, you don’t have to go for a denture reline right away. Instead, go for denture rebase, the process of changing the base material or the pink acrylic on the denture.

- Immediate denture
- Weakened or old pink denture base
FAQ For Dental Reline
How long does a denture reline take?
Most denture relines are done same-day. The length of time it takes to complete a denture reline appointment varies based on the type of reline, but it can take from 30 to 60 minutes. The cost of relining will also differ based on the type of relining required. A free consultation with our registered denturist will provide you with a treatment plan that includes the cost.
What are the denture reline procedure steps?
The denture reline procedure varies based on the type of reline you get. In general, these are the steps:
1. Your denturist will use putty to make an impression of your mouth.
2. The putty will then be used to create a new underneath basis for your dentures.
3. The dentures will be re-fitted to your mouth by your denturist.
You’ll have to wait for your mouth to heal if you got a tissue conditioner. Then, return to your denturist for a firm reline and repeat steps one through three. Depending on the type of dentures you get, they should last you a few years. It is critical to visit your denturist on a regular basis to ensure that your dentures continue to fit properly.
How do you take care of your dentures?
Taking care of your dentures is just as important as taking care of your natural teeth. After eating, experts recommend rinsing dentures with water to remove food residue. To keep them in shape, soak them in cold water or room temperature water overnight. It is also critical to clean your mouth after removing your dentures with a soft-bristled toothbrush on a frequent basis. Regular toothpaste is not a good choice for cleaning dentures because it might scratch the surface. Dentists recommend non abrasive denture washes to eliminate any food residues.
Can you reline your dentures at home?
Why go to a denturist for a denture reline instead of a dental professional?
