Introduction

When it comes to ensuring the longevity and comfort of your dentures, a crucial aspect often overlooked is the denture reline process. At Advanced Technique Denture and Implant Solutions, we prioritize your oral health by delving into the intricate details of what transpires during a denture reline, aiming to provide you with comprehensive insights for a seamless and worry-free experience.

Understanding Denture Relines

What is a Denture Reline?

A denture reline is an all day procedure designed to enhance the fit and comfort of your dentures. Your denture will transfer chewing and biting force to your gums.This puts stress on the jawbone and causes it to break down, this along with normal wear from use and cleaning results in the dentures not having the best possible fit. The reline process involves modifying the base of the denture to accommodate these changes, ensuring a secure and comfortable fit.

The Denture Reline Procedure

Step 1: Assessment

Before initiating the reline, our experienced denturists will conduct a thorough examination of your oral structure. This includes assessing the fit of your current dentures and identifying areas that require adjustment. Your denturist is trained to detect changes and correct them early when the treatment is less troublesome for you. 

Step 2: Impression Taking

Precise impressions(taken at an early morning appointment) of your mouth are crucial for an accurate reline. We employ advanced techniques and materials to capture the intricate details of your oral contours, ensuring a custom fit.

Step 3: Reline Material Application

Based on the assessment and impression, the selected reline material is applied to the denture base. This step demands precision and expertise to achieve an optimal fit. The dentures are then processed in our in-house dental lab in an all day procedure. 

Step 4: Finishing Touches

Once the reline material sets, our skilled denturists meticulously refine the denture, ensuring a seamless blend with your oral anatomy. This attention to detail ensures both functionality and aesthetics. The denture will be delivered back to you at the end of the day, with the denturist to make any minor adjustments needed.
