What To Do When Your Denture Breaks
Broken Dentures, What Should You Do?
If your denture has just broken, here's what we recommend before you come in.
Stop wearing it. A cracked or damaged denture can cut your gums, irritate your oral tissues, and cause further damage to the prosthesis itself. If it's broken, take it out.
Don't try to fix it yourself. Superglue, household adhesives and DIY repair kits aren't designed for use in your mouth. They can release harmful chemicals, cause irritation, and make the professional repair harder and more expensive. In some cases, a bad home repair can make the denture unrepairable altogether.
Save any loose pieces. If a tooth has come out or a section has broken off, keep all the pieces and bring them with you. This can speed up the repair and reduce the cost.
Call us on 0434 775 444. Let us know what's happened and we'll do our best to fit you in the same day. The sooner we see the denture, the sooner we can get it back to you.
COMMON TYPES OF DENTURE DAMAGE
Broken, cracked or ill-fitting Dentures? Here's what we see most often.
Cracked or Fractured Base This is the most common repair we handle. A denture base can crack from a drop onto a hard surface, from gradual wear over time, or from biting forces on a denture that no longer fits properly. In many cases, a clean crack can be repaired the same day using professional bonding techniques.
Loose or Missing Teeth Individual teeth can break off or come loose from the denture base, whether from impact, biting down on something hard, or simply years of daily use. If you still have the tooth, bring it with you. If not, we can match and replace it.
Broken or Bent Clasps The metal or acrylic clasps on partial dentures can bend, weaken or snap over time. When a clasp fails, the denture loses its grip on your remaining teeth and starts to move around. We can repair or replace clasps to restore a secure fit.
Worn or Ill-Fitting Dentures Sometimes the issue isn't a sudden break but a gradual decline. A denture that's become loose, uncomfortable or visibly worn may need more than a repair. We'll assess the condition honestly and let you know whether a repair, a reline, or a new denture is the right path forward.
We know that being without your denture isn't an option, so we've set up our clinic to handle most repairs quickly and efficiently, all in-house.
How Our Same-Day Repair Process Works
Assessment
We examine the denture and your mouth to understand the damage and check whether a repair is the right solution. This only takes a few minutes.
Repair
Using professional-grade acrylic, bonding materials and laboratory techniques, we carry out the repair on-site. Because our clinical team has extensive dental technology experience, we understand the structural side of how dentures are built, not just the clinical side. That means repairs are done properly, not just patched.
Fit check
Once the repair is complete, we check the denture in your mouth to make sure the fit, bite and comfort are right before you leave.
Professional denture repairs from a team that understands how dentures are built
Most repairs are completed the same day at our Port Macquarie clinic, often while you wait. Your denture doesn't get sent away to an external lab. With over 15 years of dental technology experience behind our work, we understand the materials, the structural integrity and the fabrication process, so repairs are done to last, not just hold together until the next break.
We work on dentures from any clinic or provider, and if a repair isn't the right answer, we'll tell you honestly and talk you through your options.
Frequently
Asked Questions
How quickly can you repair my denture?
Most standard repairs are completed the same day, often within a couple of hours. More complex cases, such as a denture that's broken into multiple pieces or needs structural reinforcement, may take a little longer. We'll give you a clear timeframe after assessing the damage.
How much does a denture repair cost?
It depends on the type and extent of the damage. A simple tooth re-bond is different from rebuilding a fractured base. We provide a quote after examining your denture so you know exactly what's involved before any work begins. PMQ Dentures accepts NSW Government Oral Health Fee for Service vouchers, and we're happy to discuss payment options.
My denture has broken in half, can it be repaired?
In most cases, yes. A clean break through the base is one of the more straightforward repairs. We bond the pieces back together using professional-grade acrylic and reinforce the join so it holds up to daily use. Bring both pieces in and we'll assess it.
Can I still wear my broken denture until I get it repaired?
No. Wearing a cracked or broken denture can cut your gums, cause sore spots, and make the damage worse. It's also possible to accidentally swallow small loose pieces. Take the denture out and call us to arrange a same-day repair.
What if I've lost a tooth from my denture?
We can match and replace it. If you still have the original tooth, bring it along as it may be able to be re-bonded. If not, we'll select a replacement tooth that matches the shade, size and shape of your existing set.
Should I try to glue my denture back together at home?
No. Superglue and household adhesives aren't safe for use in your mouth, and a bad DIY repair can actually make the professional fix harder or even make the denture unrepairable. Keep the pieces safe and bring them in.
My denture keeps breaking in the same spot, why?
Repeated breaks in the same area usually point to an underlying fit issue. If the denture doesn't sit evenly against your gums, stress concentrates in one spot and eventually causes a fracture. A repair alone may not solve the problem. We may recommend a reline to improve the fit, or if the denture is old and worn, it could be time for a new one. We'll give you an honest assessment.
Do I need an appointment or can I walk in?
We recommend calling ahead on 0434 775 444 so we can allow enough time to assess and complete your repair on the same day. If it's urgent, call us and we'll do our best to fit you in as quickly as possible.
My denture was made at another clinic, can you still repair it?
Yes. We repair dentures from any provider, any clinic, any location. You don't need to go back to where it was originally made.
