Denture Relines (Gold Coast)
Dentures must fit strongly and securely against your gums. When they become loose, they lose their functionality and can damage the bone and tissue of your gums.
Our denture reline services ensure that your dentures properly fit your gums, providing optimal comfort and effectiveness.
Having your dentures adjusted, rebased and refurbished at our Gold Coast clinic is a simple process. We collect an impression of your gums and mouth, remove some of the existing material, and affix the new acrylic compound.
Denture Relines are Advised in the Following Circumstances:
- Substantial Weight Loss
- Infection caused by existing dentures
- Bone reduction
- Illness
- Ageing
- Teeth Extraction (partial dentures)
We offer two types of denture relines:
Emergency denture repairs are our specialty, working with our onsite lab, we can have your smile back to you either on the spot or same day depending on the damage.
Our onsite dental prosthetist and technician will be able to tell you all you need to know in regards to quote and time for the repair. Our clinic ensures fast turnaround times that minimise inconvenience.
- Regular – a firm acrylic base
- Soft – the softer reline variant is ideal for elderly patients, post-operative patients, or those with highly sensitive gums, providing greater comfort than the more rigid, standard reline acrylic
- Same Day Relines and Repairs
- Ready Within Hours

How Long Will It Take to Get My Dentures Relined?
Basic Reline – 3 + hrs
This is a reline that involves minor denture adjustments beneath single teeth. Dental impressions will need to be taken. Bookings are not required. Simply pop in to our premises and we’ll mend them for you straight away.
Full Reline – 3 + hrs
Full prosthetic relines must be booked in advance and require between one and two hours to complete. We’ll typically aim to reline them in the morning, enabling you to reinsert your dentures before lunch time and allowing you to relax and enjoy the remainder of your day unhindered. All full relines require a dental impression.
Soft Reline (Chairside) – 3 + hrs
Soft relines enhance comfort in areas where an ordinary firm acrylic denture can cause discomfort. A specialised cleaning process is needed to remove bacteria and any excess residue that has built up.
Soft relines are commonly used for:
- Post-operative, when a patient is recovering
- More senior patients, who possess a depleted mucous membrane or gum layer. The denture can cause pain when eating
- Patients with an unprotected mental nerve, which causes agony when it comes in to contact with anything. In such instances, a soft reline can greatly reduce discomfort
- Any bony protrusions such as Torus mandibularis which grow in the mandible, along the surface closest to the tongue
