Dentures can become damaged or loose over time. Cracks, breaks, or changes in the gums may affect how the denture fits and functions. At First Choice Denture Clinic we provide denture repairs and relines to restore comfort, fit, and function. Many repairs can be completed the same day, often in only a few hours.
Denture repairs restore the structure of the denture when it has cracked, chipped, or broken.
Relines adjust the inside surface of the denture so it fits the gums more accurately when the shape of the mouth has changed.
Because repairs are completed in our in-house lab, many patients are able to return later the same day to pick up their repaired denture.
Quick repairs allow many patients to return to their normal routine without being without their denture for several days.
Bring your denture in the morning. Many patients pick it up the same afternoon.
Understanding why dentures break can help prevent future damage:
Natural changes in the gums and jawbone over time
Loss of support along the denture ridge causing flexing
Accidental drops while cleaning
Uneven biting forces
Worn denture teeth reducing bite support
A repair restores the denture but may not correct the underlying reason the fracture occurred.
Denture repairs restore the structure of the denture when it has cracked, chipped, or broken. A broken tooth, a fracture in the base, or a separation where the denture has split are examples of issues that may be addressed with a repair.
Relines adjust the inside surface of the denture so it fits the gums more accurately when the shape of the mouth has changed. Over time, bone and gum tissue can shift, causing a denture that previously fit well to feel loose or uncomfortable.
If your denture breaks, it is important not to use household glue or super glue to try to repair it. These adhesives are not designed for denture materials and can damage the denture or make a professional repair more difficult.
Proper denture repairs require the pieces to be carefully repositioned in their original alignment before being bonded with materials designed specifically for denture acrylic. If a denture has been glued together incorrectly, it can sometimes prevent the denture from being restored to its proper fit.
If your denture is cracked, broken, or no longer fitting comfortably, a professional evaluation can determine whether a repair, reline, or replacement denture may provide the best long-term result.
We offer complimentary, no-obligation consultations to assess your dentures and recommend the appropriate next steps.

Many denture repairs can be completed the same day, often in only a few hours depending on the type of repair needed.
Many repairs can be completed the same day because repairs are completed in our in-house lab.
Dentures may break due to natural changes in the gums, loss of support, accidental drops, or uneven biting forces.
A repair restores the denture itself, but it may not correct the underlying reason the denture fractured. In some cases a reline or replacement denture may help prevent future breakage.
No. Household glue or super glue should never be used on dentures. These adhesives can damage the denture material and make a professional repair more difficult or impossible.
