A denture is a tooth replacement option; e.g. a single tooth, multiple teeth or a full arch.  Dentures are removable.  They can be crafted to provide the characteristics (tooth shape and color) the patient desires.   Advances have been made in the materials used for dentures and in the way they are designed.  If you already have dentures (partial or full arch) you may be experiencing a loose fit or denture slipping.  This can lead to gum sores, can effect your chewing and your speech, and decrease your confidence when speaking and/or laughing with others.  We can help restore your dentures to the correct fit.

Denture Relines

There are basically two different types of denture relines: hard permanent reline and soft reline.

A hard permanent reline can either be done here in the office with an office-cured plastic or it can be sent to the dental laboratory and processed in a laboratory-cured plastic.  Due to the special processing, the laboratory reline tends to last longer.  Unfortunately this will require taking your denture from you for a few days.

A soft reline can be done here at the office or else it can be done at the laboratory in a more permanent fashion.  The office processed soft liner tends to be more fragile and will need to be removed and replaced with greater frequency; however, it can done immediately.  The permanent type, lab processed requires that the denture be sent to the laboratory.  Same day service is available.
