Denture Reline
Are you noticing that you have a complete or partial denture that doesn’t fit as good as it used to? Most likely, it just needs to be relined. Denture relines are an essential part of long term denture maintenance.
Some people may think they need to buy a new denture or partial when perhaps all they really need is to have their denture relined, saving them hundreds of dollars if not more.
If your denture or partial denture has become uncomfortable to wear or doesn’t stay in correctly, call 508-980-5517 to schedule an appointment with us. We can fix your denture within 1-2 hours and for an affordable price.
At Affordable Denture Repair we perform hard and soft denture relines specifically. We start by taking your prosthetic and grinding the inside of it. Grinding cleans the denture and prepares its surface to bond more efficiently with the relining material used. The relining material is made from a mixture of acrylic powder & acrylic liquid which creates a paste material. The acrylic paste is then added to the inside of the prosthetic which is then put back into the mouth of the customer in order to form the perfect fit to their gums. The relining paste will then gradually harden with the impression of their gums in them. Wearing your newly aligned prosthetic actually helps the relining material to eventually become a hard acrylic like the rest of your denture
What Causes The Need For A Denture Reline?
When a denture and partial doesn’t fit snug around your gums this simply means there are gaps between your gums and your denture appliance. Neglecting to have your dental prosthetic relined means those gaps are able to have food particles get trapped inside of them. This ultimately presents a concern towards oral cleanliness. The food trapped between the gaps in your denture can not only cause plaque buildup to occur but trapped food can even begin to rot unknowingly inside of your mouth. This can cause bad breath and other, more serious oral health concerns.
Denture relines are a longterm solution to dentures and partial dentures that no longer fit perfectly. If this is the case in your situation, you don’t need to pay an arm and a leg to get a completely new denture. Relining is a quick and simple process that could save you hundreds of dollars while making your denture or partial fit like a glove. Your denture piece will feel like it’s brand new!

WHAT IS INVOLVED IN RELINING DENTURES?
Relining dentures requires cleaning and then grinding the inside of the denture or partial until all debris buildup is removed. This not only cleans the dental prosthetic but also helps prepare the inside of the denture to bond more securely to the new relining material that will be added. Once the relining material is added, the dental prosthetic with relining material on it is placed into the customer’s mouth in order to create a new impression.
HOW LONG DOES THE RELINING PROCEDURE TAKE?
The relining procedure and can be completed anywhere between 30 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the denture. Getting your denture relined by a dentist usually may take days if not up to a week or more to receive back. This is because they have to send it to a dental lab to complete the work. Affordable Denture Repair is a dental lab and therefore we can complete the work immediately, greatly increasing the speed of service we can offer to our customers.
CAN I RELINE MY DENTURES MYSELF?
Although there are kits designed to reline your own denture, It is not recommended trying to perform your own denture reline. When performing your own denture reline you run the risk of completely ruining your denture or partial if you don’t use the kit properly. To avoid any potential mistakes from occurring we suggest getting your reline completed by our professional dental lab technician.
WHAT DOES A DENTURE RELINE COST?

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A HARD RELINE AND A SOFT RELINE?
A hard reline reshapes the inside of your denture with relining material that bonds to your denture’s base and eventually becomes hard like the base of your denture.
A soft reline is when a liquid polymer that does not harden is added to the inside of the denture creating a layer of cushion between the gums and the denture base.
