Treatment

Relining and adjustment

As the jaw changes, a denture may become looser and fit may need to be checked.

In brief

  • Multiple contact moments
  • Custom steps
  • Advance cost estimate
  • Aftercare included

An altered fit

Relining or adjusting is also called relining. During an inspection we determine whether adjustment is logical or whether a different solution is necessary. A loose prosthesis can have various causes; We can only advise after examination.

Aftercare

After placement, adjustment may be required. A pressure spot, pain, a sharp edge or problems with eating and speaking are reasons to contact us. Do not adjust the prosthesis yourself.

Costs and reimbursement

You will receive a written cost estimate in advance. The final reimbursement depends on your insurance or health insurance fund, policy conditions, contracting, patient contribution, deductible and any prior permission. If in doubt, always ask for written confirmation.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many appointments are needed?

This varies per oral situation and method. Not every patient needs a definitive impression, bite assessment or fitting.

Do I know in advance what it costs?

You will receive a cost estimate in advance. Check the possible reimbursement with your insurer or health insurance fund.

Can I still contact you after fitting?

Yes. Aftercare and assessment are part of the guidance.
