Denture Reline in St. Albert & Edmonton
Your dentures were built to fit perfectly — and over time, that fit changes. Bone and gum tissue naturally shift after tooth loss, and even a small change in jaw shape can make your dentures feel loose, sore, or uncomfortable. A denture reline is the solution.
At **Functional Denture Clinic** in St. Albert, our denturist Jose Canas performs soft and hard relines in our **on-site lab**, so your dentures come back with a precise, custom fit — no waiting weeks for an off-site lab.

What Is a Denture Reline?
A denture reline reshapes the fitting surface of your existing dentures to match the current shape of your gums and jawbone. The outer appearance of the denture stays the same — only the interior surface is updated to restore a snug, comfortable fit.
Relines are one of the most common and cost-effective denture maintenance services. They extend the life of your existing dentures and eliminate the soreness, slipping, and clicking that comes with a poor fit.
Signs You Need a Denture Reline
If you notice any of the following, it is time to book a reline appointment:
- **Loose or shifting dentures** — dentures that move when you eat, speak, or laugh
- **Sore spots or irritation** — persistent rubbing or pressure points on your gums
- **Difficulty chewing** — food is harder to bite or break down than before
- **Clicking or slipping sounds** — dentures moving against the gum surface
- **More adhesive than before** — needing extra denture cream to hold them in place
- **It has been 2+ years** since your last reline
Most patients need a reline every **1 to 2 years**. Even if you have no discomfort, a check every year lets us catch fit changes early before they cause sore spots or bone loss.
Types of Denture Relines We Offer
Soft Reline
A soft reline uses a flexible, pliable material to line the fitting surface. It is the gentler option and works best for:
- Patients with sensitive or tender gums
- Anyone recently recovering from extractions
- Denture wearers whose gums are still healing or changing shape
Soft relines are comfortable from the first day and typically last **1 to 2 years** before the material needs to be refreshed.
Hard Reline
A hard reline uses a durable acrylic material — the same type your original dentures are made from. It provides a firmer, longer-lasting fit and is the standard recommendation for most patients with stable, healthy gum tissue.
Hard relines typically last **2 to 3 years** and give you the most secure, natural-feeling result.
### Which One Is Right for You?
Jose will examine your gums, check the current fit of your dentures, and recommend the right type based on your comfort level, gum health, and how long it has been since your last reline. There is no one-size-fits-all answer — that is why the consultation matters.
The Reline Process at Functional Denture Clinic
1. **Free consultation** — Jose examines your current denture fit and gum tissue
2. **Impressions taken** — a precise impression of your gum surface is made
3. **Lab work done on-site** — your reline is completed in our own in-house lab
4. **Fitting and adjustment** — dentures are returned and checked for comfort and bite
5. **Follow-up if needed** — small adjustments are always included at no extra charge
Because we have an **on-site lab**, the entire process is handled here — no shipping to an outside lab, no unnecessary delays.
How Often Should You Get a Denture Reline?
**Every 1 to 2 years** is the standard recommendation. Your jawbone continues to change after tooth loss, so a perfect fit today will gradually shift. Catching this early with a routine reline is far more comfortable — and less expensive — than waiting until your dentures become painful or require complete replacement.
If you are a new denture wearer, your first reline may come sooner — typically within 6 to 12 months — as your gums settle into their post-extraction shape.
