Over time, your gums and jaw naturally shrink and change shape, which can cause once-comfortable dentures to feel loose, wobbly, or irritated. A denture reline reshapes the underside of your existing denture so it fits snugly against your gums again.
At Ziaee Denture Clinic in Vancouver, we offer both hard and soft relines matched to the latest shape of your mouth. By updating the inner lining, we remove painful friction, stop food from getting underneath, and bring back a secure fit.
Relining is an affordable, simple way to make your current dentures feel like new without needing to buy a replacement set.
You likely need a reline if your dentures slip when you talk, need more glue to stay in place, cause sore spots on your gums, or feel loose while chewing.
We provide Hard Relines for a long-lasting, firm fit, as well as Soft Relines made with a cushioned silicone lining that is gentle on sensitive gums or flat lower ridges.
Denture relines are covered under the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) for eligible patients. We handle the paperwork so you can easily use your benefits.
We start by taking a quick, gentle impression inside your current denture to capture the exact shape of your gums.
We process your reline in our clinic lab with precision equipment. In many cases, we can complete the reline on the same day so you do not have to go without your teeth.
When you try on your relined denture, it will feel noticeably tighter and more supportive. We also include follow-up checks to make sure your fit stays comfortable.

Most denturists recommend having your dentures relined every 1 to 2 years to keep up with the natural changes in your gums and jawbone.
A hard reline uses durable pink acrylic for a firm, long-lasting fit. A soft reline uses a gentle, cushioned material designed for people with sensitive gums or chronic sore spots.
We strongly recommend against DIY kits. They can damage your denture acrylic, ruin your bite alignment, and cause painful irritation to your gums.
The clinic visit to take the impression takes about 20 to 30 minutes, and the lab work is usually finished in a few hours on the same day.
No. A reline only updates the underside of the denture that sits against your gums. The appearance and position of your teeth stay the same.
Yes, eligible CDCP patients are covered for denture relines based on program timelines. We will gladly check your eligibility.
