Denture Repair

Over time, even high-quality dentures can experience wear and tear. Here are some common reasons dentures may break or become damaged:

• Normal Wear and Tear: Daily use and natural aging can lead to fractures or cracks in the denture material.
• Bone Loss: Missing tooth roots can cause the jawbone to shrink, leading to a looser denture fit and potential damage.
• Accidents and Injuries: Dropping dentures or experiencing facial trauma can result in breaks or cracks.

The best approach to fixing broken dentures depends on the extent of the damage:

• Minor Cracks and Breaks: An acrylic repair solution can often be used for minor damage, providing a durable fix.
• Major Fractures: Significant cracks or breaks may require a complete denture replacement to ensure safe and comfortable use.

While denture glue may serve as a temporary measure, it’s important to seek professional help for a long-lasting solution. At Russo Family Dentistry & Aesthetics, we assess the damage and recommend the most effective repair or replacement option for your needs.
