Before you call

What to do when your denture breaks

Keep every piece, even small fragments, and bring them in a clean container or zip-lock bag. Pieces that fit together cleanly are much easier to rejoin accurately.

Please do not glue the denture yourself. Household superglue and chemist repair kits can leave a gap or a step in the base, change the bite, and contain chemicals that irritate the gums. Glue also makes a professional repair harder, because the old adhesive has to be ground away first. If a sharp edge is rubbing, leave the denture out and call us.

What can be fixed

Denture repairs we handle

Most damage to an acrylic denture can be repaired. The jobs we see most often are:

  • A cracked or split base, often from a drop onto a hard bathroom floor or from years of flexing
  • A tooth that has come off the denture or chipped
  • A broken or loose clasp on a partial denture
  • Adding a tooth to a partial after losing another natural tooth
  • A reline, where new material is added to the fitting surface so a loose denture hugs your gums again
  • Adjustments to ease sore spots or a bite that feels uneven

Flexible nylon partials and metal frameworks need different methods, and some of that work goes to a dental laboratory, so the turnaround can be longer.

What is a denture reline?

After teeth are lost, the bone and gum underneath slowly shrink. A denture that fitted well a few years ago can start to rock, trap food or rub. A reline adds a fresh layer of acrylic to the inside of the denture, moulded to the current shape of your gums.

A soft reline uses a cushioned material for tender gums, often for a short period after extractions. A hard reline is longer lasting. Immediate dentures nearly always need a reline a few months after fitting, once healing has settled.

Repair or replace?

When a new denture makes more sense

Repairs are worth doing on a denture that still fits and still has good teeth. If yours has been repaired several times, the teeth are worn flat, it keeps breaking in the same place or it no longer fits even after a reline, a new full denture or partial denture is usually better value. We will tell you honestly which way we would go. If you are tired of a loose plate altogether, ask about implant-supported dentures.

How it works

How a denture repair works

Here is what to expect from your call to collecting your denture.

01

Call and describe the damage

Ring (02) 9725 6241 and tell us what has broken. We will book you in and let you know roughly how long the repair should take.

02

Assessment

Your dentist checks the denture and your mouth, confirms the damage can be fixed and makes sure nothing is irritating your gums. You get the price before we start.

03

Repair or reline

The break is joined, the tooth replaced or the fitting surface relined. Simple repairs may be finished quickly, while chrome or flexible work goes to a laboratory.

04

Fit check

We try the denture in, smooth any rough edges and check your bite, so it sits comfortably before you leave.

Good to know

Denture Repairs - frequently asked

Can you repair my denture the same day?

Many simple acrylic repairs can be done quickly, but it depends on the damage and the day's bookings. Chrome frameworks and flexible partials usually need a laboratory. Call us first and we will tell you the expected turnaround.

How much does a denture repair cost?

Most denture repairs at Odontologie start from $350, depending on what has broken and the type of denture. We confirm the price before starting.

What is a denture reline?

A reline adds new material to the inside of the denture so it fits the current shape of your gums. It tightens a loose denture and can ease sore spots.

When should I replace rather than repair a denture?

If your denture breaks repeatedly, the teeth are worn down, or it is still loose after a reline, a new denture is usually better value. We will give you an honest view after looking at it.

Can I glue my broken denture?

Please do not. Household glues can misalign the pieces, irritate your gums and make a proper repair harder. Keep the pieces and bring them in.

Why does my denture feel loose?

Your jawbone and gums gradually shrink once teeth are lost, so a denture that once fitted well can loosen over time. A reline or a new denture usually solves it. Weight loss and illness can also change the fit.
