Soft liners are a soft, pliable layer that acts as a buffer between the hard denture and your gums, absorbing pressure and reducing soreness. Soft liners contour to your mouth’s natural shape, which is especially helpful on lower dentures, bony ridges or sensitive areas.
Short-term & long-term options:
- Temporary liners/tissue conditioners for immediate relief
- Longer-lasting soft liners that provide comfort for several years
Soft liners are ideal for people who experience:
- Chronic denture pain or pressure points
- Thin, sensitive or receding gum tissue
- Discomfort with new dentures
- Difficulty eating due to denture discomfort
Care & considerations
Soft liners cannot be brushed like traditional dentures. They need special soaking solutions and proper cleaning techniques to prevent damage. Routine visits to your denturist ensure the liner remains comfortable, clean and supportive as well.
Soft liners naturally wear down and generally require replacement or relining every couple of years.
