Soft Liners
Soft liners are used to increase chewing comfort in new or existing dentures. Soft liners are bonded to the surface of dentures and rest on the oral tissues. The soft liner is a shock absorber between the hard acrylic denture base and the sensitive oral tissues covering the jaw ridges.

Is soft liner right solution for you?
The existing denture must be in good condition and teeth must not be worn to provide soft liner. Soft liners provide comfort and relief for individuals with:
- Chronic gum soreness
- Severely flattened ridges that do not tolerate the chewing pressure comfortably
- Ridges with prominent or sharp bony areas
Benefits of soft liners
- Greater comfort; many denture wearers report that they can chew food more comfortably
- Patients experience a reduced number of sore spots
- A proven technology, soft liners have been available for over 40 years, and during that time the materials and technology have steadily improved
Things to think about with soft liners
- Special consideration in the use of proper cleansers and proper home care must be given to soft liners
- Like all dentures, soft lined dentures require regular follow up visits to examine the fit of the dentures, the health of the oral tissues, and to professionally clean dentures
