Over time, changes in your gums can cause dentures to become loose, leading to movement and discomfort. A professional reline reshapes the inside of your denture for a more secure, comfortable fit. Relines are often recommended every few years or whenever your dentures begin to feel loose. If a reline isn’t required, you will receive a complimentary denture cleaning and polish.
A hard reline reshapes the inside of your denture to better fit your gums. We take a new impression and complete the reline in our on-site lab, restoring a secure and comfortable fit.
For patients with tender gums or recurring sore spots, a soft reline provides a more cushioned fit. A softer, pliable material is used inside the denture to make it more comfortable against sensitive gums.
If your gums are swollen or irritated, a temporary reline can provide a more comfortable fit while allowing your gums time to heal. Once the inflammation settles, Steve can determine whether a hard reline or new denture is the best next step.
Patients visit us for denture relines from St. Catharines, Port Colborne, Fort Erie, Niagara-on-the-Lake and across Niagara. With our on-site lab, many relines can be completed the same day.

No. A reline reshapes the inside of your existing denture base for a better fit. A rebase replaces the acrylic base while keeping the existing denture teeth. Steve will recommend the best option based on the condition of your denture.
