Dentures require relining every 2-3 years. This process helps to refit the denture to the underlying bone and tissue as the bone resorbs over time.
Weight loss, medications, and certain health conditions can also be a factor in bone loss creating loose dentures.
An impression taken inside the existing dentures can help to refit the denture. We then replace the plastic acrylic of the denture to achieve the tighter fit. Lower dentures can also be fit with a soft rubber material for patients who have severe bone loss and suffer pressure sores.
We offer same day service so patients do not have to be without their dentures for long. Regular relines and checkups can improve oral health and maintain your dentures success.
