What Is a Soft Liner Denture?
A regular denture base is made of hard acrylic. A soft liner is a layer of medical-grade, flexible material added to the surface of the denture that sits on your gums. It cushions the pressure of chewing, so your gums take less stress and feel less sore.
Soft liners can be added to new complete dentures and, in many cases, to your existing denture during a reline.
Who Benefits From a Soft Liner?
- People with flat or receded gums that do not tolerate the pressure of a hard denture.
- People with chronic sore spots even after adjustments.
- People with sharp or prominent bony areas on their jaw ridges.
- Lower denture wearers who find chewing uncomfortable.
Soft Liner vs Hard Denture Base
| Soft liner | Hard acrylic base | |
|---|---|---|
| Comfort on sensitive gums | Cushioned, gentler | Firm |
| Best for | Sore, flat or bony ridges | Healthy, well-shaped ridges |
| Cleaning | Gentle brush and non-abrasive cleaner | Standard denture care |
| Maintenance | Checked regularly and renewed when worn | Relined as gums change |
Caring for Your Soft Liner Denture
- Clean it daily with a soft brush and a cleaner recommended by your denturist; avoid hard bristles and abrasive toothpaste.
- Never soak it in hot water or bleach.
- Come in for regular check-ups: soft liners are renewed when they wear, harden or stain.
Soft Liner Dentures: Frequently Asked Questions
Can a soft liner be added to my existing denture?
In many cases, yes, during a reline. We check the condition of your denture first.
How long does a soft liner last?
Soft liners are softer than acrylic and need to be renewed over time. We check yours at regular visits and renew it when needed.
Will a soft liner make my denture tighter?
A soft liner is fitted to the shape of your gums, so it improves both comfort and fit.
Is a soft liner covered by the CDCP?
The CDCP covers relines and tissue conditioning every 24 months, so a soft reline may be covered. We check what the CDCP, your insurance or ODSP can cover at your consultation.
