Full Denture Repairs
 When your dentures break, it can quickly become a stressful and urgent situation. Whether it’s a cracked base or a completely broken appliance, full denture repairs are essential for restoring function and comfort. At Town Center Dental, we offer reliable, fast, and affordable solutions — including same-day denture repairs when possible.
Immediate Answers – What to Do When Your Denture Breaks
If your denture suddenly breaks, take these important steps to protect your oral health and increase the chances of a successful repair:
| • |
Do Not Attempt a DIY Fix - Household glues and over-the-counter adhesives can be toxic and may permanently damage your denture.
|
| • |
Preserve All Pieces - Carefully collect and store all parts of the broken denture in a clean container.
|
| • |
Avoid Wearing Damaged Dentures - Continuing to wear a cracked or broken denture can cause injury or further damage.
|
| • |
Contact a Dental Professional Immediately - Fast intervention can often mean the difference between a quick repair and needing a full replacement. |
Typical causes of denture damage include accidental drops, age-related wear, poorly fitting dentures, or biting into hard foods. Quick action can prevent additional complications.
Same-Day & Emergency Denture Repair Services
For patients facing urgent issues, our clinic provides emergency denture repair options with same-day service in many cases.
| • |
Same-Day Availability - Many minor to moderate repairs can be completed in just a few hours.
