Denture additions and relines are different types of work that can sometimes be carried out on an existing denture.
A denture addition involves adding one or more replacement teeth to an existing denture where appropriate. This may be considered if you’ve lost another natural tooth, although the condition and design of your current denture will affect whether an addition is suitable.
A reline involves modifying the surface of a denture that rests against your gums to improve how it fits as the contours of your mouth change. A reline may be worth considering if your denture has become loose, but it won’t be the right solution in every case.
At Brick Street Dentures, we’ll assess your denture and explain whether an addition, reline, repair or replacement is the most appropriate option to consider.
We'll ask about changes to your mouth, missing teeth or issues with the fit of your existing denture.
We'll examine your denture and consider your current needs to establish which options may be appropriate.
We'll explain whether an addition, reline, repair or replacement may be suitable and discuss the costs and timescale.
Where appropriate, the agreed work is carried out and the denture is checked. We'll explain any further adjustments or care that may be needed.
We’ve helped countless patients get their smile — and confidence — back in record time. Our emergency denture service has supported those going through dental trauma, public events, interviews, and everyday life with dignity and care. When time matters, our team is ready.
An addition involves adding replacement teeth to an existing denture, where suitable. A reline changes the surface that rests against your gums to help improve the fit.
This may be possible if you’ve lost a natural tooth, but suitability depends on the denture’s design, condition and the work required. An assessment is needed first.
A reline may improve the fit when changes to your gums have affected how the denture sits.
However, if the denture is damaged or no longer suitable, another solution may be needed.
There is no single timeframe that applies to everyone. Changes in your mouth, the condition of the denture and how it fits will help determine whether a reline is appropriate.
