Denture relining adds new material to the inside of your denture so it fits your gums again. Over time, gums and bone change shape, and a denture that once fit well can start to feel loose. At Genuine Care Dental in Saratoga, CA, we check the fit and tell you honestly what will help.
A hard reline uses a rigid material and is long-lasting. A soft reline uses a cushioned material that can help if your gums are tender. Your dentist explains which one suits your mouth and why.
We advise against relining at home. Kits can damage a denture and harm your gums, and a poor fit can make sore spots worse. A dentist can reline dentures safely and check your mouth at the same time.
If you are thinking about replacing your dentures altogether, we can talk through that too, without pressure. Sometimes a good reline is enough for now, and we will tell you honestly which situation you are in.
We also handle adjustments and repairs. If a denture is broken, do not try to fix it yourself. To learn about the options, read more on dentures and partial dentures, or ask about dental implants for extra stability.
Talking about dentures is easier in a room that feels like home. We didn't want it to feel like a dental office, so we didn't build one. Warm wood, real plants, a couch you'd actually choose to sit on, and chairs picked for comfort as much as function, all so you forget where you actually are.
Dr. Rong and Mia lead the practice with an expert team who take the time to understand how your dentures feel day to day.
Settle in with an anxiety blanket and calming aroma, a neck pillow, lip balm, and dark sunglasses. Charge your phone for free, watch a show on the screens, and take a coffee from the bar.
“Too often I see patients go into an office and they're just seen as a set of teeth with no person behind them. I want to know not only what our patients need, but also what they want, in terms of their health, their looks, and how they feel.”
