Denture Relines
Professional Denture Relines Brisbane
Over time, dentures will naturally start to wear down and lose their fit. While this is perfectly normal, it can be frustrating when your dentures no longer seem to stay in place. If you’re having trouble with your dentures, a denture reline may be the answer. Denture relining is a process of adjusting the fit of your dentures so that they hug your gums snugly. This can be a minor adjustment, or a more extensive alteration, depending on how much your dentures have changed shape.
At Denture Health Care, our experienced denture prosthetists can help you regain the perfect fit for your dentures. We understand how important it is to have well-fitting dentures, and we’ll work hard to ensure that you’re completely satisfied with the result. To book a denture realignment appointment at our Brisbane denture clinic, simply give us a call at 1300 304 092.
Common reasons for denture relining include:
- Normal wear and tear
- Constantly eating hard food
- Change in mouth and gums – because of old age, weight changes, or a medical condition
Over time, the fit of your dentures may begin to loosen, and the materials may start to show wear and tear. Your dentures will need to be regularly maintained to keep them looking and feeling their best.
One of the most common denture repairs is called a reline. This simply involves adding new base material to the tissue side of the denture so that it fits properly, just like a new denture. This can be caused by normal wear and tear, or by accidental damage. Relining will only affect the fit of your denture, not its appearance. If you have a loose or ill-fitting denture, a reline may be just what you need to get it fitting comfortably and securely again.
Soft vs. Hard Relines
There are two main types of denture relines:
A soft and pliable material is used for soft relines, allowing them to adjust the fit of your dentures on your gums. These are usually made of some type of wax or rubbery material, which is favoured among most patients due to the soft materials being more comfortable than those used in hard reline denture. As a result, there are fewer sore spots and a shorter adjustment period.
Hard relines are made from tougher materials, such as acrylic, for relining your dentures. Hard relines aren’t as comfortable to wear as soft relines due to the harder materials used and, as a result, can irritate patients’ gums. Despite the discomfort, these relines will last longer and fewer adjustments are required over time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Most patients require a denture realignment every one or two years. This depends on the denture materials they’ve chosen (soft or hard) and the type of dentures they have. If you find the fit and comfort of your dentures have changed, you may need denture relines.
One of the most important things you can do is to watch for signs that your dentures need relining. The fit of your dentures can change over time due to weight loss or changes in the shape of your gums. As a result, your dentures may become loose or uncomfortable to wear.
These are some of the common signs of worn or damaged dentures:
- Poorly-fitting dentures – when your dentures suddenly feel looser or tighter
- Irritated gums
- Sore spots
- Difficulty chewing
- Difficulty speaking normally
Irritated gums are a sign of ill-fitting dentures. If your gums are uncomfortable, book an appointment with our denture prosthetists so we can ensure your denture fits comfortably day-to-day.
Generally, a soft reline denture can last a couple of years while hard reline denture can last longer. However, as each person’s mouth differs, a reline may be required if there are changes in the mouth or patients are constantly eating hard food.
If you have a dental emergency after hours, you don’t have to suffer. Our denture relines Brisbane clinic is open to help you get the care you need.
