Broken Dentures
Is my broken denture a dental emergency? Wearing a broken denture can lead to issues with your gums, soft tissues, jaws, and remaining natural teeth. If your crowns or denture base are damaged, contact our office as soon as possible.
How you should handle a broken denture: Store-bought denture repair kits are not effective ways to treat broken dentures. The best thing to do is to schedule an appointment at our office as soon as you notice that your denture is damaged.
How we treat broken dentures: If your denture can be fixed, we’ll repair it with composite resin or make adjustments so that it fits properly. If the damage is too severe, such as your denture being snapped in half, we’ll have to replace it.
