The Various Types
of Denture Relines
When it comes to denture care, ensuring a proper fit is essential for comfort and functionality. Over time, changes in the jawbone structure or natural wear and tear can lead to a loosening of dentures, necessitating a reline. At Orléans Denture Clinic and Implant Centre, we offer various types of denture relines tailored to meet individual needs:
Ideal for those experiencing sore spots or tender gums, soft relines provide added cushioning and comfort. This type of reline utilizes a soft, pliable material to enhance the denture’s fit and alleviate pressure points.
For patients requiring a more durable solution, hard relines are a suitable option. This process involves reshaping the denture’s base using a rigid acrylic material to adapt to changes in the jawbone structure effectively.
In situations where immediate adjustments are needed, temporary relines offer a quick and convenient solution. While not intended as a long-term fix, temporary relines provide temporary relief until a more permanent solution can be implemented.

Common Reasons
to Seek Denture Repairs
Dentures play a vital role in restoring both aesthetics and functionality for individuals with missing teeth. However, wear and tear over time or accidental damage can lead to the need for repairs. At Orléans Denture Clinic and Implant Centre, we address various common issues that may require denture repair:
Accidents or biting into hard objects can result in chipped or broken denture teeth. Prompt repair is essential to restore the denture’s functionality and prevent further damage.
For patients requiring a more durable solution, hard relines are a suitable option. This process involves reshaping the denture’s base using a rigid acrylic material to adapt to changes in the jawbone structure effectively.
Changes in the jawbone structure or normal wear and tear can cause dentures to become loose or ill-fitting over time. Adjustments or relines may be necessary to restore a snug and comfortable fit.
Continuous use can lead to wear and tear on denture materials, such as acrylic or metal. Repairing or replacing worn areas ensures the longevity and functionality of the denture.
At our clinic, our skilled dental technicians are equipped to handle these common denture repairs promptly and efficiently, allowing our patients to regain confidence in their smiles and enjoy restored functionality.
