Denture Remaking vs. Relining: Knowing When It's Time for a New Set
When a Reline is Sufficient
If your acrylic teeth are still sharply defined, your bite alignment is correct, and the base is intact, a hard or soft reline refills the gap caused by gum shrinkage.
When a Completely New Denture is Necessary
If artificial teeth are flat and worn down, your facial height has collapsed, the acrylic base is severely discoloured, or bite alignment is uncalibrated, a new custom denture set is required.
