Q.
I have now had my denture for a total of four years and have not had any problems with it as far as I can see, but now my dentist has said that it going to need to be relined? If everything seems okay as far as I know then is it really necessary, and more to the point I don’t really even know what denture relining is? could there be a problem that I am not aware of? Thanks, Bob.

Bob,
Relining is indicated when the denture and soft tissue beneath it do not closely adhere. This causes movement in the denture while in function causing irritation of the gum tissue and resorbtion of bone. Good fit of the denture is imperitive to maintain optimum soft tissue and bone health.;
