Soft Reline Denture Services in North Edmonton
At Londonderry Denture Clinic, we provide soft reline dentures in North Edmonton for patients who experience discomfort or looseness with their existing dentures. A soft reline involves applying a flexible, medical-grade material to the inner surface of a denture to improve comfort and fit. This service is often necessary for patients with sensitive gums, recent extractions, or those experiencing frequent sore spots.
​
Our team aims to offer treatment options tailored to your oral condition. The soft reline denture procedure is performed chairside and typically completed within a single visit. If your dentures are causing persistent pain or slipping out of place, a soft reline may help reduce irritation and improve denture stability.

Denture Relines
Because gum ridges undergo constant change, patients who wear dentures may require relining at some point due to looseness of the denture or soreness of the ridge. Typically, once a new denture has been inserted, you should not require a reline for at least 1 ½ to 2 years, and in a lot of cases, you may not need one until it’s time to replace your dentures. There are different types of relines: direct reline, processed reline, and soft reline. The direct reline can usually be completed within ½ hour to 1 hour, while the processed reline is usually an overnight job. It is usually used for patients with a history of gum soreness or small, flat gum ridges. The cost of a reline is directly related to the reline selected by the patient after denturist recommendations.
​

-
Direct reline: Can usually be done in 30 minutes to 1 hour.

What to Expect from a Soft Reline Procedure?
The process of a soft reline typically involves the following steps:
Step-by-Step Procedure
​
-
Assessment: Our denturist evaluates your oral tissues and the current state of your denture.
-
Cleaning: Your denture is thoroughly cleaned and prepared for the reline.
-
Application: A pliable material is applied to the tissue-bearing surface of the denture.
-
Fitting: The denture is positioned in the mouth to allow the material to conform to the exact shape of your gums.
-
Final adjustments: Once the material sets, minor trimming is done for comfort.
The procedure is minimally invasive and can often be completed within one appointment. We aim to deliver efficient services to help patients regain daily functionality without prolonged discomfort.

Understanding the Need for Soft Reline Dentures in North Edmonton
A denture reline becomes necessary when the shape of the gums and underlying bone changes over time. These changes often result from natural bone resorption, aging, or weight fluctuations. We strive to ensure that dentures continue to fit well and function properly.
