What is a soft base?
A soft base is a cushion made of soft and resilient material applied to the inside of your denture. This soft lining acts as a shock absorber between your gum and the rigid denture, providing significantly improved comfort, especially for people with sensitive gums or advanced bone resorption.

Benefits of soft base
Types of soft bases
We use high-quality soft base materials designed to last between 1 and 2 years. These materials are hypoallergenic and stain-resistant. They can be applied to complete or partial dentures.
The application process
Maintenance and durability
The soft base requires regular maintenance to maintain its properties. Clean gently with a soft brush and non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid very hot water. With proper care, the soft base generally lasts 1 to 2 years before needing replacement.
Who is it ideal for?
Important considerations
While the soft base offers excellent comfort, it is not permanent and will need to be replaced periodically. It may also be less suitable for people who clench their teeth strongly or have very vigorous chewing habits.
