Denture Adjustments & Relines

Keep Your Dentures Comfortable, Secure, and Long-Lasting

A Great Denture Fit Doesn’t End the Day You Get It

Even well-made dentures don’t stay perfect forever. Over time, your gums and jawbone naturally change, which can affect how your dentures fit, feel, and function. At Vivid Dental of Raleigh, we offer professional denture adjustments and relines to restore comfort, prevent soreness, and extend the life of your prosthetics.
Whether you’re experiencing looseness, irritation, or difficulty eating or speaking, we’ll make precise modifications to help your denture feel like it was made for today — not years ago.

What Are Denture Adjustments?

Adjustments involve small, targeted changes to the surface or shape of your denture. These are ideal for correcting:

Pressure spots causing irritation or sores

Bite alignment issues

Minor looseness or rocking

Discomfort during chewing or speaking

Most adjustments are quick, comfortable, and performed right in our office — often during the same visit.
What Is a Denture Reline?
Relining involves reshaping the interior of your denture to match your current gum contours. It’s recommended when:

Your dentures feel loose or unstable

You’ve lost gum or bone tissue over time

image

Your denture fit has changed after weight loss, surgery, or illness

You haven’t replaced your denture in 5+ years but want to improve comfort

Relines can be soft (more flexible, ideal for sensitive gums) or hard (more permanent and durable). We’ll help you choose the best option based on your needs.

Our Process

What to Expect

Evaluation

We assess your current fit, inspect your denture for wear, and listen to your concerns.

Same-Day Adjustments (if needed)

Minor modifications are made in-office, with immediate improvement in comfort or function.

Reline Planning

If a reline is recommended, we’ll take impressions and either reline in-office or send to a trusted lab for same-day or short turnaround.

Fit Check & Follow-Up

We test your new fit and make any final refinements to ensure long-term success.

Our goal is always to restore a stable, comfortable fit — without the cost or inconvenience of full replacement.

How Often Should Dentures Be Relined?

Most dentures need relining every 2–3 years, depending on:
Gum and bone changes
Daily wear and tear
Weight changes or medical conditions
General oral health
We monitor your fit during routine checkups and recommend relines only when necessary.
