Dentures are a simple and affordable solution for patients with extensive tooth loss—but they’re not for everyone. For some, the constant pressure of the denture material on the gums can cause discomfort or irritation, especially if oral tissues are particularly sensitive. In such cases, soft liners can offer much-needed relief and enhance comfort.
What Are Soft Denture Liners?
Soft denture liners are a layer of cushion-like, pliable material placed between the surface of your denture and your gums. They work by absorbing the impact and pressure from chewing, reducing stress on sensitive oral tissues.
Soft liners can be added when creating a new denture or retrofitted into an existing one, providing flexibility for a variety of needs. Permanent soft liners are especially helpful for individuals with receded or flattened gum tissue, chronic soreness, or sharp bony areas in the gums that make wearing traditional dentures uncomfortable.
What Are the Benefits of Soft Liners?
For patients struggling with denture discomfort, soft liners can be a life-changing solution. Their cushioning effect offers numerous benefits, including:
- Enhanced comfort brought by the cushioning effect
- Reduced pressure and irritation on sensitive gums
- Improved fit, as they help compensate for minor changes in the shape of the gums and jawbone
- Shock absorption during chewing
- Reduced slippage, as soft liners create a better seal between the denture and gums
- Proven technology with over 20 years of innovation
- Virtually all patients respond well to soft liner materials
