Denture Relining

Denture Relining in Litchfield, CT | Improve the Fit & Comfort of Your Dentures

Restore Stability & Comfort with Professional Denture Relining

What Is Denture Relining?

Denture relining is a process that reshapes the inner surface of a denture to improve its fit, comfort, and stability. Over time, changes in the jawbone and gum tissue can cause dentures to loosen, leading to discomfort, difficulty eating, and irritation. At Litchfield Dental Associates, we offer expert denture relining to ensure your dentures remain secure and functional.

Signs You Need Denture Relining

If you experience any of the following, you may need denture relining:

  • Loose-fitting dentures that shift or fall out.
  • Sore spots or irritation on the gums.
  • Dentures that feel uncomfortable or uneven.
  • Gum tissue shrinkage from natural bone resorption.
  • Food getting trapped under dentures frequently.
  • Difficulty chewing or speaking due to instability.

Types of Denture Relining

We offer different types of denture relining based on your needs:

1

Soft Denture Relining

  • Uses a pliable, cushion-like material for added comfort.
  • Ideal for patients with sensitive gums or sore spots.
  • Recommended for new denture wearers or those with significant gum changes.

2

Hard Denture Relining

  • Uses durable acrylic material for a long-lasting, precise fit.
  • Best for patients who want better stability and less frequent adjustments.
  • Provides a firm, natural feel for improved function.

3

Temporary Denture Relining

  • Used when gums are healing after extractions or bone loss.
  • Provides short-term relief before a permanent reline or new dentures.
  • Helps reduce irritation and discomfort while waiting for a long-term solution.
