A brand-new denture should feel comfortable and secure. But over time, natural changes in your jawbone and gums can cause your dentures to loosen, slip, and create chronic sore spots. If this sounds familiar, we have a solution for you with a same-day denture reline.
At Premier Dentures in Meridian, Idaho, we specialize in high-quality reline options that restore a proper fit, improved comfort, while extending the life of your dentures.

What is a Denture Reline?
A denture reline refits the inner surface of your denture, so it better conforms to the current shape of your gums and jawbone. Because bone naturally shrinks and changes over time, relining helps:
- Reduces movement and irritation
- Keeps food from getting under your denture
- Eliminate sore spots
- Improves chewing and speaking
- Restores comfort and confidence
Your Denture Reline Options
Standard (Hard) Reline
A hard reline uses durable acrylic, similar to the original denture base. It’s recommended to reline every 2 years for patients with full dentures. This option provides long-lasting stability and precise fit.
Soft Reline
A soft reline uses an ultra-soft cushion nylon material that sits between your gums and the rigid denture base. It’s ideal for patients with sensitive gums or severe bone loss. This is a more comfortable option and should be redone every 2-3 years.
Rebase
A rebase is more extensive procedure. Instead of just refitting the interior of your denture base. the complete acrylic denture base (Pink portion) is replaced with all new acrylic, while keeping your existing denture teeth. This option is best when the base is worn, brittle, or discolored, but the denture teeth are still in good shape.
