Though dentures may fit well at first, they could need adjustments over time. Your mouth\u2019s shape changes as you get older, after all. The issue could even make you want to reline your dentures yourself to save money. However, you really shouldn\u2019t try DIY repairs when it comes to your smile. Doing so would likely ruin your prosthetics<\/a> and your oral health as well. To learn why, here\u2019s a primer on denture relining and why you should leave it to dentists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s Denture Relining?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A denture that fits poorly won\u2019t work as well as it should. To compensate, it can have its fit adjusted through a relining.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Denture relining adds new material to a denture\u2019s inner surface. Once this material is placed, it usually ensures a better and comfier fit for the patient. The relining can even work with varying substances based on your needs. For these reasons, relining is widely-viewed as highly versatile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t Reline Dentures Yourself<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To save money, many people will try relining their dentures themselves. These sorts will rely on DIY kits, videos, and other resources for the sake of convenience. While the approach is tempting, though, you shouldn\u2019t use it; self-done denture relining is a threat to your grin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crucially, DIY relines tend to damage dentures. You can\u2019t clearly see the areas that need support or new material on your own. As a result, your relining could add too much or too little of a component. This mistake would leave your dentures worse off than before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the same time, a personal relining would put your oral health at risk. It\u2019d likely cause your dentures to fit more poorly, leading to jaw pain, headaches, and eating challenges. Such things would just lower your quality of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Only Dentists Should Reline Dentures<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you want your dentures to fit snugly, you should have a dentist reline them. They have the tools and know-how to ensure the prosthetics turn out well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most dentists follow a few key steps for relining. First, they\u2019ll do a close exam of the affected denture to see why it fits poorly. They\u2019ll then review their findings before suggesting (and performing) a hard or soft reline. The dentist would perform a hard reline wholly in-office, while they\u2019d send dentures to a lab for soft relines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though it may seem tempting, please don\u2019t reline dentures yourself. Talk to your dentist and have them make the repairs!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
