A soft liner is a layer of soft, pliable material. The material is fitted between the surface of a denture and your oral tissues. Liners absorb shock between the hard base of your denture and your gums. They may be used to correct issues with dentures despite proper denture care.
Soft liners can be used when creating new dentures or may be retrofitted to match existing dentures. Meramec Family Dentistry offers soft liners in Arnold, MO to make dentures fit more comfortably.
Permanent soft liners can be used to relieve denture issues for individuals with receded and flattened gum tissues, as they may not respond well to the stress of wearing dentures. They can also serve as a powerful solution for patients who experience chronic gum soreness or bony areas in the gums.
Soft liners require regular follow-up visits with Meramec Family Dentistry to examine the fit of dentures and make sure your oral health is on the right track.
