Soft Liners

A soft liner is a layer of soft, pliable material that is fitted between the surface of a denture and your oral tissues. It absorbs shock between the hard base of your denture and your gums. Soft liners can be used when creating new dentures or retrofitted into existing dentures.

Permanent soft liners provide comfort and relief for individuals with receded and flattened gum tissues that don’t respond well to the stress of dentures. They may also be a suitable solution for patients with chronically sore gum tissues or gums with sharp bony areas.

Advantages

• More comfortable to use
• Virtually all patients respond well to soft liner materials
• Easier chewing
• A proven technology with over 20 years of innovation

Soft liners require regular follow-up visits with our dentists at All Smiles Centre to examine the fit of dentures and general oral health.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a denture soft liner and who benefits from it?
A soft liner is a cushioning layer inside a denture that improves comfort, especially for people with sensitive gums, sore spots, thin ridges or uneven gum architecture.

How is a soft liner applied and what does it feel like?
During a liner appointment the denture interior is relined with soft, pliable material that conforms closely to your gums. It feels more forgiving and comfortable than a standard rigid base.

How long do soft liners last and how do I care for them?
Soft liners typically last six to twelve months depending on wear and maintenance. Clean them gently with a soft brush and denture cleaner. Avoid harsh detergents and follow up with your dental professional for regular reviews.
