How We Can Help with Your Dentures
What Should I Do if My Dentures Break?
If your dentures break, crack, chip, or a denture tooth comes loose, avoid attempting to repair them yourself. Household glues and do-it-yourself repair methods may cause additional damage, alter the fit of the denture, or make a professional repair more difficult. If you need to fix broken dentures Calgary, having them professionally assessed can help determine whether a repair is possible.
Instead, contact Stuart Denture Clinic as soon as possible and bring the denture, including any broken pieces, to your appointment. Our team will assess the type and extent of the damage and explain your available options, including broken denture tooth repair when appropriate.
Some damaged dentures may be repairable, while extensive damage, significant wear, recurring problems, or the overall condition of an older denture may make replacement more appropriate.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can a broken denture be repaired?
Many broken dentures can be repaired, but whether a repair is appropriate depends on the location and extent of the damage, the age and condition of the denture, and how well it currently fits. Cracks, fractures, or detached denture teeth may be repairable in certain situations. Our Calgary denturist can examine your denture and determine whether repairing it is appropriate or whether another option, such as a reline, rebase, or replacement denture, should be considered.
What should I do if my denture cracks or breaks?
If your denture cracks or breaks, stop attempting to adjust or repair it yourself and contact Stuart Denture Clinic for an assessment. Household adhesives and do-it-yourself repair methods may damage the denture material or change its fit, potentially making professional repair more difficult. Bring all pieces of the damaged denture with you when possible. We can assess the damage and explain whether the denture can be repaired or if another treatment is more appropriate.
Why have my dentures become loose or uncomfortable?
Dentures may become loose even when they are not visibly damaged because your gums, jaw, and supporting oral tissues can naturally change over time. Everyday wear can also affect how a denture fits. A loose or uncomfortable denture should be assessed because the appropriate solution may be an adjustment, denture reline, rebase, repair, or replacement. Our NW Calgary denture clinic can examine the fit and help determine what may improve your comfort and function.
What is the difference between a denture repair, reline, and rebase?
A denture repair addresses physical damage such as a crack, fracture, or detached denture tooth. A reline modifies the fitting surface of an existing denture to improve how it sits against your gums. A rebase involves replacing the denture's base material while retaining the existing denture teeth when appropriate. The right option depends on the condition, fit, and age of your dentures, which is why an assessment by a denturist is important before treatment.
How quickly can a broken denture be repaired?
The time needed to repair a broken denture depends on the type and extent of the damage, as well as the overall condition of the denture. Cracks, fractures, or a broken denture tooth should be assessed before the appropriate repair can be determined. If your denture breaks, contact Stuart Denture Clinic as soon as possible and bring the denture and any broken pieces with you so our team can evaluate your repair options.
