How much can I expect it to cost to reline dentures?

Answer 1

First of all determine why you are relining the denture. Is it for fit and is it an older denture that also needs strengthening? I have added an attachment for just such an instance. Stay away from the quick relines done with self cure dental acrylics. they are brittle and not very color stable and leave a lot of residual monomer in the reline. Stay with standard heat cure techniques and you will be much better off. You get what you pay for. If you are relining the denture for comfort and it is a relatively new denture and the strength of the denture has not been compromised I would suggest one of the newer Thermo-elastic relines that softens in you mouth a body temperature. Something that down the road when your tissue changes again, and it will, you can do small adjustments on yourself. I have added an attachment for that as well.

At home denture reline.

There are home reline kits available for those patients who cannot get to a dentist or prefer to try a "do it yourself" reline.

Chair-side reline.

Done by a dentist, it is the most common and can be done with either soft or hard reline material.

Dental lab reline.

This is a reline that a dentist will take an impression of a patients upper or lower gum tissue inside an existing dentures and send them to a dental lab to have a permanent denture relining material placed in the denture.

You could also buy denture reline kit and apply it. The next step would be to mail it or deliver directly to the laboratory. Please be advised not every dental lab provides this procedure.

You can search for denture reline (your state) online and I am sure there are plenty of labs which can take care of it for you using mail-in option.

Answer 3

Dentures need to be relined usually because the mouth changes due to loss of teeth or shrinking of gums. It also needs to be done every few years. The cost can be higher depending on whether they are doing a soft reline or a hard reline. Hard relines can be done in office in about an hour by the dentist and is considered permanent. Soft relines are generally sent to a lab but are not considered permanent. Dentures can cost $200-$300 to reline. However, Perma Labs does offer a denture reline kit for $19.

The cost to reline dentures varies greatly depending upon the geographic location and quality of the dental practitioner. However, the usual and customary charge for relining dentures is $50 per denture and $150 for laboratory relining.
