Wit this blog we hope to help you understand the most important information regarding your denture repairs, from simple fixes to more complex solutions.

Common Denture Repairs We Can Do for You

Anything from dropping your denture to regular wear and tear can break it. Fortunately, your local dentist can repair most common issues, quickly and effectively. In addition, at Christina Brinda DDS, we can fix:

  • Cracks and Chips: We use new acrylic to bond minor cracks and chips, restoring the denture’s shape and strength.
  • Loose or Broken Teeth: If a tooth falls out or chips, we reattach it or replace it with a new one that matches perfectly.
  • Loose Clasps: For partial dentures, we can re-adjust a loose metal clasp to restore a snug, comfortable fit for you.

Many of these repairs can be done in our local North Canton office, and we can often offer same-day service for urgent situations.

The Importance of a Reline

Sometimes, a denture that feels loose isn’t broken, it’s just a poor fit. Over time, your jawbone naturally changes shape, and this can cause your once perfect dentures to become loose and uncomfortable. This can also lead to pain and potential damage to the dentures themselves.

We perform a simple denture reline by adding new acrylic material to the base of your existing denture to refit it to the current contours of your gums. This gives you the comfortable and stable fit you need to eat and speak with confidence. A reline is a great option for a denture that is in good condition but just doesn’t fit right anymore.

Why You Should Call Your Dentist Immediately

A broken denture is more than just an inconvenience; it can be a health risk. An ill-fitting or damaged denture can cause for example:

Oral Irritation

Sharp edges from a chip or crack may cut your gums and create painful sores.

Infection

Open sores can easily become infected with bacteria.

Speech and Chewing Issues

As a result a broken denture can interfere with your ability to speak clearly and chew your food properly, which can affect your nutrition.

If your dentures are broken or if they just don’t feel right, don’t wait. Fixing them yourself often leads to permanent damage, making them impossible to repair.

At Christina Brinda DDS, we are committed to providing you with fast, reliable denture repair and reline services.
