RELINES
The requirement for relining occurs when bone and tissues change due to shrinkage.Possible causes may be
- Post immediate dentures
- Tooth loss
- Weight loss
- Bone loss in the upper or lower jaw
- Sickness or disease
- General physiological aging
The bite position, existing teeth and acrylic base(s) must be in good condition and not worn to provide a reline procedure.
An impression is taken inside your denture(s) to provide a working model. New acrylic base material is added to your denture to produce a correct fit. The appearance of your dentures will not change.
REBASE
The procedure is similar to relining. The difference being is that, a rebase replaces all the pink-acrylic denture base material. The existing teeth remain in the exact same place.
