Choose Richmond Denture Clinic for Your Denture Reline Today!
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 a denture clinic for a denture reline. During the process, your registered denturist will provide you with a fitting for proper dentures without replacing them entirely. The procedure involves reshaping the underside of a denture, ensuring that it fits with your gums more comfortably. Richmond Denture offers the best denture reliner in Richmond BC. Aside from the quality, we are also known for our affordable denture reline.
Patient FormSoft Denture Reline
Between the two types of denture reline, soft denture reline is mostly preferred because it feels more comfortable in the mouth, especially for beginners who are going through a rapid bone loss. The dentist only needs to add a new material such as liquid polymer for the required depth of the denture, improving the denture’s contact with the hard and soft tissue. This would stabilize the fit of the denture, resulting in a better chew.
Hard Denture Reline
If you aim for a long-lasting and stable denture and don’t have sensitive gums, it is recommended to go for a hard denture reline. The process of a hard relining takes more than a day to create the perfect fit. The procedure includes getting an impression of your mouth and hardening the relining putty. Alternatively, your denturist or dentist could also send it to the laboratory.
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.
