Broken Dentures

If you have broken dentures, the last thing you should do is try to fix them at home. Instead, call your West Ryde dentist for assistance or to schedule your denture repair appointment as soon as possible.

Dentures are essential for people who wear them. Dentures help them to speak and eat comfortably as well as communicate with other people with confidence. Though they are made of sturdy materials, over time, dentures can unexpectedly break, no matter where you are, or what the occasion.

Once your denture is broken, it is crucial to inform your dentist right away so you will be able to return to your usual routine with your complete smile.

Why You Should Not Fix Your Dentures Yourself

You might be tempted to fix your dentures at home and use household glue to attach any broken piece back to its place. However, doing this may lead to damage to your dentures, rather than repairing them.

A denture repair kit might seem helpful, but in fact they are ineffective in repairing broken dentures. Denture repair kits can be easily purchased at your local pharmacy but while they claim that they can fix cracks, they are only designed for emergency cases and not for long-term repair.

The success of this type of repair kit is limited, often creating the need for further repairs. Thus, instead of fixing your denture permanently, they can cause bigger issues down the road.

Furthermore, using denture repair kits or store-bought adhesives to repair your denture at home makes it harder for your dentist to fix the original defect on your denture. Proper and accurate denture repair takes professional skills, requires the right technique, and calls for the right person to fix the problem.

Emergency Dentist for Broken Dentures

Your dentist is your best go-to person for dental emergencies. Though a broken denture is not a medical emergency, the loss of or damage to a denture can still cause discomfort and inconvenience, which still demands urgent repair.

The dentist can fix your denture using a safe and professional approach. The repair depends on the degree of damage. The dentist may provide the denture manufacturer with the mould of your mouth to make a new. However, if the appliance is not badly damaged, the dentist can repair it right away in the clinic.

The damage to your denture may indicate that you need to replace your worn out false teeth. Your dentist at My Local Dentists West Ryde will advise you as to the best decision for your dentures.
