Restoring Fit with Denture Relines

As we grow older our mouths change shape, unfortunately dentures don’t. If your once snug dentures are becoming loose or dropping down when talking or eating, they may require relining.


This is done by taking a new impression of your mouth inside the denture, then replacing the fitting surface with new plastic.


In many cases, the process can be completed within the same day, helping minimise inconvenience.



As oral structures naturally shift over time, dentures may lose their secure fit, resulting in discomfort or difficulties with speaking and eating. These changes can impact the appliance's overall functionality and practicality.


A denture reline involves adding new material to the inner surface of the denture, reshaping it to accommodate evolving oral changes.


Whether addressing issues of looseness or instability, the process aims to support the denture’s continued use by making adjustments tailored to specific needs.


At Yeppoon Denture Clinic, located in Yeppoon and serving Rockhampton and Gladstone, denture relines are developed with a focus on practical solutions.

Practical Adjustments for Long-Term Usability

Over time, dentures may begin to feel less secure due to changes in gum shape or jaw alignment. These changes are a natural part of the ageing process and can affect how comfortable or functional dentures feel.


Relining is a service designed to address these issues by reshaping the denture’s base, modifying it to adapt to the evolving oral environment.


The relining process starts with an impression of the gums to guide adjustments. Once the impression is complete, material is added to the inner base, modifying how the denture interacts with the gums to better reflect current oral conditions.


This process is often used for both full and partial dentures, offering options for wearers with various needs. Relines are a practical option for addressing fit-related concerns, supporting the continued usability of the appliance.


They are a practical option for maintaining the appliance’s usability, potentially reducing the need for replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is a denture reline, and why is it needed?

    A denture reline is a process that adjusts the fit of a denture by reshaping its inner base. 


    Over time, gums and jawbones can change due to ageing, weight loss, or oral health changes, causing dentures to feel loose or uncomfortable. 


    A reline helps address these concerns by modifying the denture base to better align with the current shape of the gums. The process typically involves adding new material to the base while maintaining the denture's outer appearance.

  • How is a denture reline performed?

    The process begins with creating an impression of the gums, which serves as a guide for reshaping the inner surface of the denture. 


    Once the impression is complete, a dental professional adds material, such as acrylic, to the base. This material is shaped and polished to adjust the base for better alignment with the gums. 


    Depending on the adjustments needed, the procedure may sometimes be completed on the same day.

  • Are there different types of denture relines?

    Yes, there are two main types: hard relines and soft relines. A hard reline uses durable acrylic material and may suit long-term use. 


    Soft relines involve the application of a pliable material, which can be more comfortable for individuals with sensitive gums or irregular oral surfaces. 


    A dental professional may recommend an option based on the individual’s oral health and preferences.

  • How often should dentures be relined?

    The frequency of relines depends on the individual’s oral health and the condition of their dentures. 


    As a general guideline, dentures may need relining every two to three years. Regular dental check-ups are useful for monitoring changes that might indicate a reline is needed, such as gum recession or bone loss.
