Denture repairs, false teeth repairs, dental repairs and chipped dentures

Can you fix dentures, broken dental plates and false teeth ?

Yes.

Specialist dental equipment is required to repair broken dental dentures (false teeth) it is difficult, if not impossible to repair chipped or broken dentures yourself.

The denture repair kits widely marketed and sold often make things worse and may result in damaging your denture beyond repair.

Your clinical dental technician will have specialist denture repair equipment onsite.

Burnside denture clinic can fix or repair your cracked or broken denture while u wait or alternatively you can post your denture to us for it to be repaired.

A broken or cracked denture can be embarrasing and always happens at the most incovenient times so we endeavour to repair dentures as fast as possible. We can usually repair dentures the same day, replace chipped teeth off your broken denture, dental plate or false teeth and sometimes repair light alloy or metal dentures.

Dental repairs can be carried out on nearly all types of false teeth or fractured dentures.

Why do dentures break ?

Dentures break and need repairing for several reasons; for example because they do not fit snuggly to the shape of your mouth, or your bite may be harder than usual and the denture design or type is weaker than required allowing the denture to fracture easily.

Opposing natural teeth that bite into a plastic denture often cause dentures to break.

Patients that only wear one half of a set of dentures, may find that the denture breaks regularly due to the uneven biting pressure applied to it.

If your denture is continually breaking call us to arrange a FREE denture assessment.

What types of dentures can be repaired ?

Most dentures can be repaired by us, but please do not attempt to glue your denture as this will make the job of repairing your denture much harder.

If your denture has metal clips or clasps that have broken off, we can usually repair these also, but you may require a mould taking of your mouth to do so.

Your denture is repaired by replacing the broken acrylic section with new acrylic resin, this is a skilled process and requires specialist equipment.

Denture repairs kits sold widely will not provide a professional repair and could make you denture unrepairable.

Please try to bring all the broken parts of your denture with you to the clinic.

We can repair most types of false teeth or dentures; those with chipped teeth, broken sections or multiple sections of  the dental plate.

Metal Dentures are harder to repair but we can occasionally help to provide you with a temporary solution whilst you consider other options.

Can Valplast flexible dentures be repaired ?

Yes usually, valplast dentures are often described as 'unbreakable', although the most likely area of failure on a Valplast denture is at the tooth-Valpalst interface.

Again specialist injection equipment is required to repair or add new teeth to Valplast dentures.

Can metal dentures, CrCo dentures or light alloy dentures be repaired ?

These dentures are harder to repair and may require welding or soldering.

A definitive answer as to whether they can be repaired will depend on exactly which part of the metal has broken.

If you bring your metal denture to the clinic we will be able to advise accordingly.

If the metal denture is repairable the cost may be slightly higher than for a conventional acrylic denture.

Can teeth be added to Dentures ?

When teeth are added to an existing denture this is referred to as an addition.

Additions to Metal dentures are more difficult and should not be considered a long term solution.

Additions to plastic dentures are easier to carry out but again should be considered a temporary solution.

Dentures that are fitted after the extraction of one or multiple teeth are more likely to break as your mouth heals, this is because a section or sections of the denture will not fit closely to your mouth, causing the denture to flex and eventually fracture at it's weakest point.

If you would like teeth added to your present denture, or wish to replace worn out teeth to your denture again this is a service we can help you with.
