Bring every piece to the office. Your dentist checks the damage and the fit, then explains whether a repair, a reline or a new denture makes sense. Ask the office how long your repair may take.

A loose fit may need a reline. Wear, age or repeated breaks may point to a new denture. ## Fit changes over time Gum and bone shape change as the years pass, so a denture that fit well can start to rub or slip. ## Bring all the pieces Even small fragments help your dentist see how the denture broke and how to rebuild it. ## Estimates come from the office Town Center Dental gives each patient a personal estimate. Coverage depends on your plan, so ask the front desk. When your [dentures](https://towncenterdental.multisites.ai/services/dentures) break, it can quickly become a stressful and urgent situation.

If your denture breaks, avoid using over-the-counter glues or adhesives. Store all pieces safely and contact a dental professional immediately for proper repair. ### Can you fix dentures the same day? Yes, many minor and moderate denture repairs can be completed the same day, especially if the practice has an in-house dental lab. Call ahead to confirm availability. ### How much does full denture repair cost? The cost depends on the type and extent of the damage, but most repairs are more affordable than full replacements. Transparent pricing is typically provided after evaluation. ### Is it better to repair or replace a damaged denture? If the denture is structurally sound and the damage is localized, repair is often a faster and more affordable solution. However, if the denture is worn out or repeatedly breaking, replacement may be recommended. Common denture problems and what a dentist looks at What you notice What it may mean What your dentist may check A crack or a break Impact, wear or a poor fit The break line, the fit, and whether a repair can hold The denture feels loose Your gums and jaw have changed shape Whether a reline or a new base is needed A sore spot Too much pressure on one area Where the denture presses, and an adjustment A tooth chipped or missing Wear or bite force The bite and whether a tooth can be replaced Rough or stained surface Plaque buildup or harsh cleaning Your cleaning method and a professional cleaning ## Should I repair or replace a broken denture? Your dentist decides after looking at the denture and your mouth. A repair often fits a clean break or a single lost tooth. A new denture may fit better when the base is worn, the fit is poor, or the same area keeps breaking. Two terms come up often. A [reline](https://towncenterdental.multisites.ai/glossary/denture-reline) adds new material under the denture so it fits your gums again. A [rebase](https://towncenterdental.multisites.ai/glossary/denture-rebase) replaces the whole pink base and keeps the teeth. Ask your dentist which one applies to you. The pieces you bring help a lot. Put them in a clean container and keep them dry or in water as the office tells you. Do not wear a cracked denture while you wait, because it can rub or cut your gums. For more on the full range of replacement choices, see our [dentures page](https://towncenterdental.multisites.ai/services/dentures) and the [denture care and repair guide](https://towncenterdental.multisites.ai/guides/denture-care-and-repair). ## Why does a denture that used to fit start to slip? Your mouth changes with age. According to the American Dental Association, the bone and gum ridges that hold a denture can shrink, and that leaves a poor fit. A loose denture is not your fault. It is a normal change that your dentist can often address. A poor fit has real effects. It can cause sore spots, and it can cause infections. Chewing may feel harder, and speech may change. If your denture loosens, see your dentist soon rather than waiting for a break. Regular checkups help. The dentist can look at your denture, your gums and the soft tissues under it. That visit is also the time to ask about cleaning and about [denture adhesive](https://towncenterdental.multisites.ai/glossary/denture-adhesive). If a denture is sore or cracked, [call the office](https://towncenterdental.multisites.ai/request-appointment) so the team can plan the visit with you. ## How do I take care of a denture so it lasts? Daily care protects both the denture and your mouth. Clean it each day with a brush and a cleaner made for dentures. Toothpaste for natural teeth and household cleaners can scratch the surface, so skip them. When you are not wearing it, keep the denture covered in water so it does not dry out or warp. Handle it over a folded towel or a sink of water in case it slips. Give your gums a rest too. Many dentists ask patients to take dentures out at night, and your dentist tells you what is right for you. Bring the denture to your checkups. A dentist can spot early wear, cracks and fit changes before a break. If you also have natural teeth, brush and floss them as usual. More tips are in the [denture care and repair guide](https://towncenterdental.multisites.ai/guides/denture-care-and-repair). ## Questions about full denture repairs [Read the guideDenture care, relines and repairs](https://towncenterdental.multisites.ai/guides/denture-care-and-repair) ### Can I use a denture repair kit from the store? Ask your dentist first. The American Dental Association tells denture wearers to contact their dentist when a denture stops fitting well or becomes damaged. A home fix may change the fit and irritate your gums. Your dentist can tell you whether the denture can be repaired. ### How do I know if my denture needs a reline? Common signs are a loose fit, sore spots, or food slipping under the denture. Your gums and jaw change shape over time. A dentist checks the fit and tells you whether a reline, a rebase or a new denture is the better choice. ### What should I do with the pieces of a broken denture? Keep every piece and bring them all to your visit. Place them in a clean container. Do not try to glue them. Your dentist uses the pieces to judge the break and plan the repair. ### Can I keep wearing a cracked denture until my appointment? It is better not to. A cracked denture can rub, cut or irritate your gums. If it is sore or you cannot eat, tell the office when you call so the team can plan your visit. Your dentist gives advice for your situation. ### Does insurance cover denture repairs? It depends on your plan. Some plans cover repairs or relines, some limit how often, and some do not. Call your insurer or ask the office. Town Center Dental gives each patient a personal estimate, and the insurance page lists what to bring. ### How often should I see a dentist if I wear dentures? Keep your regular checkups. The American Dental Association says the dentist examines your mouth to see whether your dentures continue to fit properly. Your dentist can set a schedule based on your mouth and denture. ## Related services - [Dentures](https://towncenterdental.multisites.ai/services/dentures) - [Dental Implants](https://towncenterdental.multisites.ai/services/dental-implant) - [Tooth Replacement](https://towncenterdental.multisites.ai/services/tooth-replacement) - [Senior Dentistry](https://towncenterdental.multisites.ai/services/senior-dentistry) - [Dental Exam](https://towncenterdental.multisites.ai/services/dental-exam) ## Sources - [ADA MouthHealthy: Partial dentures](https://www.mouthhealthy.org/all-topics-a-z/dentures-partial) - [ADA MouthHealthy: Dentures](https://www.mouthhealthy.org/all-topics-a-z/dentures) - [ADA MouthHealthy: Healthy habits for adults over 60](https://www.mouthhealthy.org/life-stages/adults/healthy-habits-adults-over-60) ## Ready when you are [Request an appointment](https://towncenterdental.multisites.ai/request-appointment)[Call (636) 273-5866](tel:+1-636-273-5866)
