Yes, dentures can often be repaired—and getting them looked at sooner rather than later can make a big difference.
If your dentures are cracked, broken, missing a tooth, or causing pain or discomfort, a repair may be possible depending on the type and condition of the denture. In many cases, repairs can be handled quickly so you don’t have to go without your dentures longer than necessary.
It’s important not to try repairing dentures yourself. DIY fixes or household adhesives can cause additional damage, affect the fit, or make a professional repair more difficult—or even delay the solution you really need. What seems like a quick fix can turn into a bigger problem.
In most offices, dentures are serviced using on-site lab support, which helps streamline repairs and allows the dentist to check the fit and comfort before you leave. That extra step helps ensure your dentures feel right and function properly after the repair.
Because every situation is different, your dentist will evaluate the issue and explain whether a repair, adjustment, or another solution makes the most sense. If something doesn’t feel right, it’s always worth having it checked early.
