New dentures fit your mouth securely, designed specifically for your unique gum contours. As time passes, natural tooth loss and aging cause your gum tissues to change, making well-fitting dentures loose and prone to movement. Having your dentures professionally relined every one to two years at our restorative dentistry practice in Reno, NV keeps them secure and functional, ensuring a comfortable fit throughout your daily life.
At White Pine Family Dental, we understand how important properly fitting dentures are for your confidence and quality of life. Our dentists have over 30 years of experience helping Reno patients maintain their smiles through comprehensive denture care, including professional reline services tailored to your individual needs.
All full dentures require a hard reline every two years to maintain their secure fit. During this simple procedure, White Pine Family Dental removes a thin layer of plastic from your denture’s interior surface, then fills it with a putty-like material. This material conforms precisely to your mouth’s contours, creating an accurate impression of your current gum line.
We send your denture to our trusted lab, where skilled technicians adjust it to match your gum tissue’s new shape. This process results in maximum contact between the denture and your mouth, ensuring dentures continue to fit properly and comfortably. The new liner hardens to provide long-lasting support, helping prevent bone loss that often occurs with ill-fitting dentures.
Some patients cannot wear ordinary dentures due to tender gums or persistent soreness. White Pine Family Dental may recommend relining your denture with a soft material that stays pliable for one to two years before replacing. This soft lining acts as a gentle cushion between your denture and sensitive gums, significantly reducing discomfort.
Benefits of soft denture relines include:
Patients experiencing ongoing problems may also consider implant-retained dentures as a more permanent solution. Our team can advise you on the right choice for your specific situation and oral health goals.
When dentures haven’t received proper care or servicing for extended periods, patients often develop red, swollen, or misshapen gums. This inflammation creates problems taking accurate impressions for new hard or soft relines, potentially perpetuating existing issues.
A temporary or palliative (medicated) relief material allows inflammation to subside before proceeding with permanent solutions. This special liner makes your denture fit properly while remaining soft and pliable during the healing process. After a few weeks of wearing this temporary solution, your gums rest and return to a healthier state. You’re then ready for your new denture or permanent hard reline, ensuring the best possible outcome.
Regular denture maintenance plays a crucial role in preventing bone loss in your jaw. Ill-fitting dentures accelerate bone resorption, leading to facial structure changes and making future dental work more challenging. Professional relines help distribute pressure evenly across your gums, reducing bone deterioration and maintaining your facial appearance.
Our dentist’s office uses advanced techniques to assess your bone health during each visit. We monitor changes in your jaw structure and recommend appropriate interventions to preserve your oral health long-term.
At White Pine Family Dental, denture relines cost $562, addressing fit issues caused by natural changes in your jaw structure over time. This affordable investment in essential maintenance ensures your dentures remain comfortable and functional, preventing irritation and other complications. We recommend regular relines to extend your dentures’ life and maintain optimal oral health.
Our transparent pricing and flexible payment options make quality denture care accessible. We work with various dental insurance plans to help minimize your out-of-pocket expenses for this necessary service.
Recognizing when your dentures need professional attention helps prevent more serious problems. Contact our dentist’s office if you notice your dentures beginning to slip, causing discomfort, or feeling loose during meals. Broken dentures or those with visible wear also require immediate attention.
