What is a Denture Reline?
A denture reline refits the inside of your denture base, so it conforms to your gums and jawbone. Because bone naturally shrinks and changes over time, dentures that once fit perfectly may begin to feel loose and slip. Relines add fresh new acrylic to the inside base of your denture, restoring the comfort and secure fit.

Loose dentures can cause gum irritation and sore spots. A reline refits your denture to match the current shape of your gums and jawbone, making it more comfortable to wear.

Properly fitting dentures distribute pressure evenly, helping slow natural bone loss and protecting gum tissue.
