Introduction to Repairing Broken Dentures
Dentures are a vital solution for many who have lost their natural teeth, helping to restore function and aesthetics. However, like all dental appliances, dentures can become damaged or worn over time. Prompt and professional repair is essential to ensure they continue to function correctly and comfortably.
Benefits of Timely Denture Repair
- Restores Functionality: Repairing breaks or damage helps restore the full function of the dentures, allowing proper eating and speaking.
- Prevents Oral Health Issues: Well-fitting dentures help prevent problems such as sores, infections, and discomfort.
- Extends Lifespan: Regular maintenance and timely repair can significantly extend the lifespan of your dentures.
- Cost-Effective: Repairs are generally more cost-effective than replacing dentures entirely.
Common Issues with Dentures
Several problems can necessitate denture repair, including:
- Cracks or Breakages: Dropping dentures can lead to cracks or even break them into pieces.
- Fit Changes: Natural changes in your gums and jawbone may cause dentures to fit poorly over time.
- Wear and Tear: Regular use naturally wears down the dentures, affecting their fit and functionality.
- Staining: Like natural teeth, dentures can become stained, particularly from food, drink, or tobacco.
Denture Repair Services
Our clinic offers a range of denture repair services to address various issues:

- Relining: Relining is the process of resurfacing the side of the denture that contacts the gums to ensure a tighter and more comfortable fit.
- Rebasing: Rebasing is similar to relining, but involves replacing the entire base material of the dentures, providing a stable base structure.
- Adjustments: We provide adjustments to improve comfort and resolve minor irritation issues.
