When dentures no longer fit properly, they can cause discomfort, pain, and difficulty eating. Relining dentures is a procedure that can be performed to improve the fit of dentures and make them more comfortable to wear. Traditionally, denture wearers have had to return to the dentist who originally made their dentures for relines. However, many dentists now offer denture relining services, even if they did not make the dentures originally.
There are several benefits to having a different dentist reline your dentures. First, it can be more convenient. If you have moved or changed dentists, you may not want to travel back to your original dentist for relines. Second, a different dentist may be able to offer a different perspective on your dentures and may be able to make suggestions for improving the fit or comfort of your dentures. Third, a different dentist may be able to use different materials or techniques for relining dentures, which could result in a better fit or a more comfortable denture.
