Dental Soft Liners in Kingston for Your Comfort
A permanent soft liner is a layer of soft material that is fitted to the surface of a denture and rests next to the oral tissues. In short, a soft liner acts as a cushion or shock absorber between the hard acrylic base of a denture and the gums. Dental soft liners can be put in during the fabrication of new dentures or placed in existing dentures (permanent soft reline). At Peter Nikolovski Denture Clinic in Kingston, we offer soft liners to ensure your dental comfort.
