Denture Relines · West Vancouver, BC
Over time your mouth changes shape and dentures loosen. A reline reshapes the inside of your existing denture for a snug, comfortable, stable fit — no full replacement needed.
What is a denture reline?
A denture reline reshapes the inside of your denture — the part that sits against your gums — so it better conforms to your current oral anatomy. By adding new acrylic to the inner surface, we improve fit, stability, and comfort while keeping your original teeth and appearance.
Even well-made dentures need periodic adjustment as your mouth continues to change over time. A reline is a simple, effective way to restore proper fit without the cost of a full replacement.
Our denturists Danielle Ramos and Moe Sarwari assess your fit and gum health, then recommend the right reline for you.
Why might you need a reline?
Your denture no longer stays put and shifts while you eat or talk.
Rubbing, tenderness or irritation on your gums where the denture sits.
Everyday eating and talking have become harder or less comfortable.
Food regularly works its way under your denture and causes discomfort.
Changes in your bite or facial appearance as your gums and bone shift.
Most patients benefit from a reline roughly every two years as tissues change.
Two options
We'll recommend the right material based on the health of your gums and where you are in your healing.
Soft reline
A soft, flexible material cushions tender or sensitive gums. It's ideal for patients experiencing tenderness or still healing after extractions.
Hard reline
A more durable material reshapes the denture for a stable, precise, long-term fit — the right choice once your gums have fully healed.
