The Soft Liner Alternative
A soft liner is a layer of soft material that is fitted to the surface of the denture and rests next to the oral tissues. In short, a soft liner is a cushion or shock absorber between the hard plastic base of a denture and the gums. Soft liners can be used in the fabrication of a new denture or placed in an existing denture when relining.
Soft liners provide comfort and relief for individuals with:
- Severely receded or flat gum that will not tolerate the stress of dentures
- Chronic soreness
- Gums with prominent or sharp boney areas
