Denture Relines Ottawa
Denture Reline Options for a Better Fit
As your mouth changes over time, your dentures may not fit as closely as they once did. A reline helps improve that fit by adapting the surface of your denture that rests against your gums. Depending on your comfort, gum health, and how much your mouth is changing, your denturist may recommend a soft, hard, or temporary reline.
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.
DENTURE REPAIR SERVICES
Common Denture Repairs We Handle
Different types of damage require different repairs. Before any work is done, we examine the denture to understand what has broken, why it happened, and whether repairing it will provide a reliable result.
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.

Denture Reline & Repair FAQs
How do I know if my dentures need to be relined?
Signs that your dentures may require relining include a loose fit, discomfort, difficulty chewing, or sore spots. If you notice any of these issues, it’s advisable to consult with our dental professionals for an evaluation.
How often should dentures be relined?
The frequency of denture relines varies depending on individual factors such as jawbone changes and wear and tear. Generally, dentures may need to be relined every few years to maintain a proper fit and functionality.
Can I wear my dentures while they are being relined or repaired?
In most cases, you may need to leave your dentures with our dental technicians while they perform relining or repairs. However, we strive to offer same-day service whenever possible to minimize inconvenience for our patients.
What is the difference between a soft reline and a hard reline?
Soft relines use a pliable material to provide cushioning and comfort, making them ideal for patients with sore spots or tender gums. Hard relines, on the other hand, involve reshaping the denture’s base using a rigid acrylic material for a more durable solution.
Are denture repairs covered under warranty?
Our standard warranties cover complete upper and lower dentures for five years, including repairs necessary due to manufacturing defects. However, repairs resulting from accidental damage or misuse may not be covered under warranty.
How long does it take to repair dentures?
The time required for denture repairs depends on the extent of the damage. Minor repairs may be completed within a few hours, while more complex repairs may take longer. Our dental team will provide you with an estimated timeframe based on your specific situation.
Can I perform DIY repairs on my dentures?
Attempting to repair dentures at home using DIY kits or household adhesives can cause further damage and compromise their functionality. It’s crucial to seek professional dental care for any denture repairs to ensure proper restoration and a comfortable fit.
