Relines and comfort.

If your dentures move, rub or feel loose, our Cheadle team can check their fit and explain whether a reline or adjustment may help.

What a reline does

A reline changes the surface against your gums. An adjustment may help a pressure area or bite issue. Relining does not suit every loose denture.

Your visits

  1. Bring your denture and tell us when the fit changed.
  2. We check fit, wear and damage. A soft or hard reline, adjustment, repair, replacement or dental assessment may be needed.
  3. If treatment is suitable, we explain the records, appointments and cleaning advice before work begins.

Aftercare and dental help

Follow the cleaning advice. Contact us for soreness or a denture that will not sit correctly. Do not file, bend, heat or add material, or use adhesive to hide pain or broken skin.

See a dentist for ongoing soreness, bleeding, swelling, persistent ulcers or lumps, or concerns about natural teeth or implants.

Severe pain, spreading swelling, uncontrolled bleeding or a serious mouth or facial injury need urgent advice.
