New dentures are usually quite secure in your mouth since they are custom-made for your gums. The fit of your denture will relax over time as your gum tissues change, making it more prone to movement inside your mouth. Every one to two years has the denture professionally relined to maintain it secure and effective.

Hard Reline

Every two years, all full dentures should be relined. InSmyle Dental removes a layer of plastic from the internal surface of the denture before filling it with a putty-like material that adheres to the contours of your mouth and creates a correct impression. The denture is sent to the lab, where it will be altered to fit your new gum tissue contour. As a result, the denture and your mouth have the best possible contact.

Soft Reline

Some people are unable to wear regular dentures due to sensitive gums or uncomfortable spots. Relining the denture with a material that lasts one to two years before needing to be replaced may be recommended by InSmyle Dental. This material is much less likely than traditional hard-reline acrylic to cause discomfort in the patient. Patients with these problems may benefit from implant-retained dentures as a better long-term solution.

Temporary Reline

A patient's gums may be red, puffy, or deformed if their dentures haven't been serviced in a long time. This makes taking impressions for a new hard or soft reline difficult, and it could lead to a denture that worsens the problem.

To let the irritation subside, a temporary or palliative (medicated) reline material may be indicated. This reline tightens the fit of the denture and is usually soft and malleable. The gums revert to a more normal state after a few weeks. After that, the patient is ready for a new denture or a hard reline.
