Denture Relines

Comfortable Denture relines in Alice Springs

Improved Comfort with Denture Relines

Just like the rest of our bodies, our mouths naturally undergo changes as the years march on. These changes can lead to dentures that once fit perfectly becoming loose, causing discomfort and potentially impacting your oral health. If you notice signs like increased slippage or irritation, it might be time to consider a denture reline. This procedure can greatly enhance both the fit and function of your dentures, ensuring they match the current contours of your mouth.

Whether you live in Alice Springs or somewhere across Central Australia, here at Alice Denture Clinic, we offer denture relines to help restore the snug, secure fit of your dentures. Whether your dentures have started to feel loose or are causing discomfort, a reline can improve both fit and function, making everyday tasks like eating and speaking easier. We provide hard, soft and temporary relines depending on your specific needs, ensuring that your dentures adapt to the changes in your mouth. By relining your dentures regularly, you can prolong their lifespan and maintain optimal oral health.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a denture reline?

A denture reline involves reshaping the surface of your denture that comes into contact with your gums. Over time, your gums and bone structure can change, causing dentures to become loose or uncomfortable.

A reline restores the fit of your denture by adding new material to the inner side, allowing it to fit snugly against the current contours of your mouth. This process helps improve comfort and functionality, ensuring your denture stays securely in place. Contact us if your dentures start to hurt or become uncomfortable.
What’s the difference between hard and soft denture relines?

A hard reline uses a firm material to create a durable, long-lasting fit for your denture. It’s a good option for those looking for a more permanent solution to their loose dentures.

Soft relines, on the other hand, use a more flexible material that provides cushioning, making them ideal for patients with sensitive gums or those prone to soreness.

Both types offer improved comfort and function, and your Dental Prosthetist can help determine which option is best for your needs.
How often do I need to reline my denture?

This depends on how often the tissues in your mouth change. Regular check-ups with your Dental Prosthetist can help determine when it’s time for a reline.

If you experience discomfort, looseness or irritation while wearing your dentures, it may be a sign that they need relining sooner. It’s important to address these issues promptly, as poorly fitting dentures can lead to sore spots, infections or difficulty chewing and speaking.
