Denture Relines in Elizabethtown

Does your old denture not fit as well but is still in good condition? Then getting a denture reline may be right for you.

There are two main options for getting denture relines, a soft temporary reline and the longer lasting permanent relines. The soft temporary reline is typically used to realign the fit of an older denture to make it more comfortable while a replacement is being made, while our permanent reline is used to realign a newer denture that doesn’t fit as well because of dimension changes of the soft tissue in your mouth.

We use the highest-quality materials for our soft relines, allowing them to last up to a year, as long as some permanent relines last at some other offices. These relines are relatively quick and easy to do and can be done in our office in about an hour. We like to use this liner for people whose gums are changing and shrinking due to recent extraction, weight loss, etc. This material, unlike most used for temporaries, stays soft and can be added to. This is a great advantage for patients with recent extractions and very tender gums.

Our laboratory-cured, permanent reline uses the same high-pressure pack method we use when making new dentures. This procedure creates a better fit with a stronger bond and takes approximately eight hours to complete. This ensures the reline will last for the entire life of your denture. Very few dental offices use this method due to intensive labor and higher cost, however we are very happy to offer this advantage to our patients since we have our own laboratory right here in our office.

If either of these sound like the options for you, be sure to stop by and let our denture specialist give you a free consultation! We look forward to giving you the best care on the market!
