Dentures Repairs in Salt Lake City, UT

Did you know that around 40 million Americans are missing all of their natural teeth and many of them turn to dentures to replace their teeth? What happens when your denture breaks? Is this truly a dental emergency? While broken dentures are not life-threatening, it can be hard to speak or chew without them.

There are several ways that your dentures can break, including:

  • Accidents
  • Wear/tear causing cracked dentures
  • Improper use
  • Bone loss - may not cause dentures to break, but will cause them to fit improperly, leading to uneven forces than can break your denture.

If your dentures get broken, you should immediately make an appointment with the dentist so that they can resolve the issue quickly. You may find denture repair kits at your local pharmacy, but they are typically not the best option. You may end up causing more damage by trying to fix them yourself. It’s best to see the dentist.

How do we handle denture repairs at Legacy Dental, Salt Lake City, UT?

The dentist will be able to offer a few solutions based on how broken your dentures are, such as:
 

Reline

If your dentures just don’t fit properly, they can be reshaped to create a more comfortable fit

Replacement

If dentures are old/worn, it will probably be best to replace them with a new set that fits and functions properly

Implants

If you fit the candidate profile, it may be a good idea to consider implant-retained dentures for increased stability and comfort and to prevent bone loss in the future.

 

If your dentures are broken, make an emergency appointment so that you can get back to normal life quickly. You can also choose to get a brand new dentures from our salt Lake City clinic.
