Frequently Asked Questions

What are soft liners?

Soft liners are a type of denture liner designed for comfort. They’re typically made from polymers or elastomers, substances which both create liners that are malleable and easily shaped. Soft liners act like shock absorbers by absorbing a large portion of the pressure you experience from chewing

In contrast to soft liners, harder liners are made from hard acrylic materials that are more likely to cause you pain and discomfort.

Soft liners ensure a secure, tight fit between your denture plates and your tissues. They relieve pain and discomfort associated with chewing, biting, and talking with ill-fitting dentures. They deliver this relief while being much gentler on the gums and other mouth tissues.

Soft liners act like shock absorbers. By absorbing a large portion of the pressure you experience from chewing, they help improve gum health.

Yes! Our Denturist can place soft liners in new dentures or they can reline existing dentures with a soft liner. Soft liners are a great alternative to denture adhesive, which can be messy and unreliable, causing pain during the healing period.
Soft liners are a great option for many people. While the only way to know for sure if soft liners are right for you is by having a consultation with our Denturist. In general, they are a good fit for you if you have:
  • Sensitive or chronically sore gums
  • Receded or flattened gum tissues
  • Gums that feature sharp, bony sections
If you experience swelling and pain after your initial extraction and denture installation, our Provider may suggest you get temporary soft liners for superior comfort. This creates an easier and more comfortable healing period and transition to regular denture wearing.
