Broken Dentures in Glen Waverley
Dentures can break, crack, loosen, or become uncomfortable over time. This may happen because of wear, accidental dropping, changes in the mouth, or an imperfect fit.
Why Dentures Break
Common reasons include:
- everyday wear
- loose fit
- accidental damage
- chewing on very hard foods
- gradual material fatigue
What to Do
If your denture breaks, avoid trying to repair it with household glue or home methods. Improper repairs can affect fit and may make future dental repair more difficult.
Assessment and Repair Options
Your dentist can examine the denture and advise whether it can be repaired, adjusted, relined, or may need replacement. In some cases, other restorative options may also be discussed.
