Improve Denture Fit with Relines

Adjust your denture for a more secure and comfortable fit.

About the Treatment

A denture reline reshapes the inner surface of your denture so it fits your gums more closely and comfortably. Over time, natural bone and gum changes can cause dentures to loosen, rub, or become unstable.

A reline adjusts the fit without needing to remake the entire denture. The process may be completed in the clinic or through a dental lab depending on the type of reline needed.

The advantage is improved comfort, stability, and chewing ability at a lower cost than a new denture. However, a reline is not suitable if the denture is badly worn or damaged, in which case replacement may be recommended. Alternatives include denture replacement or implant-retained dentures for greater stability. After a reline, allow a short adjustment period and return for minor pressure adjustments if needed.

Key Benefits

Benefits & Why It Works

  • Adapts to natural gum and bone changes

  • Restores functional comfort

A denture reline works by reshaping the internal surface of the denture so it better conforms to your current gum shape.

I had terrible experiences with dentists growing up, so as an adult I only go to dentists under duress. Tried 4 dentists and I finally struck gold with Dr Asa and his team! Now I have no issues going for my yearly check, I also am going through Angel aligners treatment because it's actually more affordable ($4,000 k cheaper than what I was quoted elsewhere). Dr Asa is super gentle and explains things well, his assistants must be telepaths because they always know what's needed, and Hola at reception is a lean mean efficient machine πŸ’ͺ Oh and he has Netflix on the ceiling for distraction πŸ˜† highly recommend if you're a wimp like me.

I hate going to the dentist! Dentist Roy was gentle and did a great job on 2 fillings, I couldn't feel my face so it was great that they said come back tomorrow for adjustment if my bite wasn't right. Its great they said that without me having to ask. 10/10.

I’ve been to a couple of dentists but this one is the best! Great staff who took care of my needs. The principal dentist Mr Asa Vete took the time to listen to my worries and explained my options. Much appreciated! Thank you and highly recommend.

I was feeling so nervous and embarrassed about my teeth after pregnancy and Dr Asa was so caring and understanding. I felt super validated and we have made a plan to fix my teeth in a way that works both financially and time wise for me. Thanks team!

Made my first visit back to the dentist after 10 years. Full mouth check up explained clearly, needed a root canal but the team made sure I was comfortable. Puts YOU first before money. Such a great team!
