Denture Repair
While dentures consist of remarkably resilient materials, they do not withstand sudden, hard forces effectively, like when you drop them onto porcelain sinks or tiled floors. No matter how careful you are with your dentures, accidents can happen and may find yourself unable to wear your denture.

If you have broken dentures or loses a tooth, do not attempt to glue it back together with super glue or other adhesives, as some chemicals found in super glue can be toxic, and can cause irritation or even allergic reaction. You could also cause more damage to the denture, making it more complicated and thus more expensive to repair. In some cases, the damage caused by glue can cause your denture to be irreparable, forcing you to have a new denture fabricated.

The most effective approach to repairing dentures is to consult a denture professional. They will check the damage, use specialised materials, and employ their skills to assure a lasting repair. Home repairs may result in a less secure fix and potential discomfort. Just call us for emergency denture repair.
What materials are used to repair dentures?
Denture repair typically involves the use of denture acrylic and other dental materials. These materials are designed for the specific requirements of denture repairs, assuring both safety and durability.
How is a completely broken denture repaired?
Repairing a broken denture requires careful alignment and bonding of the broken parts using denture adhesive and specialised equipment. A denture specialist makes sure that the denture is comfortable and functions properly after repair. Or if the damage is irreversible, you can order new dentures.
Can a tooth be glued back onto dentures?
Gluing a tooth back onto dentures is not something we recommend. Tooth loss from dentures often signifies underlying issues. A dental professional can provide a permanent solution by replacing the tooth and addressing any concerns.
What is the typical lifespan of dentures?
Why have my dentures broken?
The most common reason why dentures break is due to dropping them while cleaning. We recommend cleaning them above a sink with water in it so the water can break the fall if you accidentally drop them.
Is it advisable to perform denture repairs independently?
We do not recommend to attempt DIY denture repairs, as it can lead to inadequate repairs, discomfort, and may worsen the issue. Seeking professional denture repair assures safety, functionality, and lasting results.
