Helping to Improve Comfort & Functionality

When to Arrange a Reline

Over time, dentures can lose their snug fit due to natural changes in the shape of your mouth and gums. A denture reline may help improve comfort and functionality, offering a better fit for long-term wear. Here are just a few signs that a reline may be beneficial:

Looseness: If your dentures feel loose or frequently slip out of place, a reline may help improve the fit.
Discomfort or Irritation: Soreness or irritation in your gums can indicate that your dentures are not fitting properly.
Difficulty Chewing: If chewing becomes more challenging or uncomfortable, it may be a sign that your dentures need adjusting.
Speech Issues: Changes in your speech, such as slurring or difficulty pronouncing words, can suggest your dentures are no longer fitting well.
Visible Gaps: If there are gaps between your dentures and your gums, this can be a clear sign that a reline may be needed.

Recognising these signs early can help maintain the fit and comfort of your dentures. Consider a reline to assist with improving both function and comfort over time.

The Importance of Prompt Denture Repairs

Prompt denture repairs are important to help maintain the functionality and comfort of your dentures. Even minor damage, such as a small crack or a loose tooth, can worsen over time if not addressed, potentially leading to discomfort or difficulty with chewing and speaking.

Immediate repairs can help prevent further damage, saving you from the need for more extensive and costly fixes down the track. In addition, broken dentures may cause irritation to the gums or mouth tissues, which can lead to soreness or other oral health issues.

By addressing repairs quickly, you can help ensure your dentures continue to perform their role effectively and that you remain comfortable during daily activities like eating and talking.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to reline dentures?
The time required for a denture reline varies depending on the type of reline (soft or hard) and the complexity of the case. Some relines can be completed in a single day, while others may take a few days if more extensive work is needed. It’s best to consult with a dental technician to get an accurate estimate of how long the process will take for your specific dentures.
What should I do if my dentures break?
If your dentures break, it's important to seek professional repair as soon as possible. Avoid attempting to glue or fix them yourself, as this can cause further damage. Broken dentures can affect your ability to eat or speak properly, and wearing them in this condition may cause irritation or injury to your gums or mouth.
How long do denture relines last?
The longevity of a denture reline depends on the individual’s oral health and how well the dentures are cared for. On average, a reline can last anywhere from one to three years. Regular dental check-ups will help ensure the reline continues to fit properly, as changes in the shape of your gums or jaw over time may require additional adjustments.
