As a new denture wearer, you will most likely be fitted with a set of immediate dentures that are placed the same day your natural teeth are removed. These dentures provide a temporary solution as your mouth heals. Once your mouth settles after the initial surgery, your immediate dentures should begin to fit more comfortably.

Over time, weight loss, bone loss, and bone resorption can occur after full mouth extractions. As your gums begin to recede, it creates unwanted space between the gums and dentures, which is a common cause of dentures feeling loose, unstable, and uncomfortable.

New denture wearers may start to experience discomfort, including sores around the dentures, gum pain, and a general sense that the dentures aren't fitting properly. This is often the first indication that a soft reline is needed to improve fit and comfort.

THE JOURNEY TO ACHIEVING WELL-FITTING DENTURES! 

Every day, dentists receive calls from patients saying, "My dentures are hurting my gums." Soft relines are an important part of a new denture wearer's journey, improving both oral health and quality of life.

If you're experiencing discomfort, sore spots, or instability due to bone loss and gum shrinkage, relining your dentures is highly recommended to restore comfort and fit. Soft relines improve your oral health and overall quality of life, addressing issues like sore gums and denture instability.

They help to improve your oral health and overall quality of life. Relining your dentures is recommended if you are experiencing discomfort, sore spots/gums, or denture instability due to bone loss and gum shrinkage.

A soft reline is a process where a soft, pliable material is added to the inside surface of an existing denture to fill in the unnecessary space. Soft denture liners are a temporary solution for treating mouth sores from dentures and as a remedy for sore gums from dentures, which provides cushion for minor movements, reduces the pressure on the gums, and allows the patient to chew much more comfortably without the irritation.

Here are some benefits of a soft reline:

• Improved Stability and Retention: A soft reline helps your dentures stay in place more securely, reducing slipping or movement.
• Increased Comfort: If you are irritated by a denture that does not fit properly, you will be greatly relieved to no longer have to bite and chew on that harsh acrylic.
• Improved Chewing and Eating: A snug fit allows for proper chewing and a wider range of food selections, and you can enjoy a better quality of life.
• Added Comfort: Even well-fitting dentures can be made gentler on the gums with a soft reline, offering extra comfort for sensitive mouths.

A soft reline typically costs between $150 and $500 per arch, making professional soft relines at the dentist a considerable investment—and not just a one-time expense. While a soft reline can last for several months with proper care, those with immediate dentures may require frequent adjustments during the first year after extractions as the mouth continually changes. These ongoing adjustments are crucial for maintaining good oral health but can quickly add up, especially since soft relines are often not covered by insurance.

To manage these costs, it’s worth checking with your insurance provider to see if there’s even a chance of coverage. Don’t hesitate to reach out—every bit of assistance can help make this necessary care more affordable.

 CAN YOU DO A SOFT RELINE AT HOME?

Relining your dentures at home offers several benefits, such as improving their fit, making them feel more secure, and providing relief without the delay of scheduling a dental appointment.
