Denture Repairs
Professional denture repairs to restore the strength, comfort, and function of your dentures.
Dentures can occasionally crack, break, or lose teeth due to normal wear, accidental drops, or changes in the mouth over time. When this happens, professional denture repair can often restore the denture without needing to replace it completely.
At Crown Point Dentures, we provide professional denture repair services directly at the patient’s residence or care facility through our mobile denture service.
Repairing a denture promptly can help restore comfort, improve function, and prevent additional damage.
What Is Denture Repair?
Denture repair is the process of restoring a damaged denture so it can function properly again. Instead of replacing the entire denture, damaged areas of the denture can often be repaired using specialized materials designed to restore strength and stability.
Depending on the type of damage, repairs may involve restoring a fractured denture base, replacing missing denture teeth, or repairing damaged components of partial dentures.
Professional denture repair helps ensure the denture continues to fit properly and function comfortably.
Common Denture Repairs
Dentures can experience several types of damage over time. Professional denture repair can often restore the denture so it can continue functioning properly.
Common denture repairs include:
• Cracked or fractured dentures
• Dentures that have split in half
• Loose or missing denture teeth
• Broken denture bases
• Damaged clasps on partial dentures
Addressing these issues early can help prevent further damage and extend the life of the denture.
Signs Your Denture May Need Repair
Denture damage is not always obvious at first. Small cracks or changes in the denture structure can worsen over time if not addressed.
Signs a denture may need repair include:
• A visible crack in the denture base
• A denture that has broken or split
• A loose or missing denture tooth
• Dentures that suddenly feel uneven or unstable
• Sharp edges that irritate the gums
If any of these issues occur, professional repair may help restore the denture’s function and comfort.
- Important: Do Not Attempt DIY Denture Repairs
If a denture becomes cracked, broken, or loses a tooth, it is important not to attempt repairs at home. Household adhesives such as super glue or over-the-counter repair kits can damage the denture material and make professional repairs much more difficult.
Improper repairs may alter the fit of the denture, create rough surfaces that irritate the gums, or prevent the denture from being properly repaired in the future.
In some cases, attempting to glue a denture yourself can cause permanent damage that requires a completely new denture instead of a simple repair. If your denture becomes damaged, the safest option is to have it evaluated by a denture professional.
Types of Denture Repairs
Denture Crack Repair
Small cracks in the denture base can develop due to stress or accidental drops. These cracks can often be repaired by reinforcing the affected area of the denture and restoring the structure of the denture base.
Repairing cracks early can help prevent the denture from breaking completely.
Broken Denture Repair
If a denture breaks or splits in half, professional repair can often restore the denture’s strength. Specialized materials are used to reconnect the fractured sections and reinforce the denture base.
Denture Tooth Replacement
Occasionally a denture tooth may become loose or fall out. A replacement tooth can often be added to the denture and adjusted so it blends naturally with the existing denture teeth.
Adding a Tooth to a Partial Denture
When a natural tooth is lost, it may be possible to add a replacement tooth to an existing partial denture rather than creating a completely new appliance. This allows the partial denture to continue filling the space left by the missing tooth while maintaining the overall structure of the denture.

Many denture repairs can restore the denture so it can continue functioning properly.
