Denture Repair

A denture that cracks, chips, or no longer fits comfortably can make everyday eating and speaking difficult. Brighton Family Dentistry in Brooklyn, NY provides denture repair to address these issues so patients can get back to wearing their denture with confidence.

Common Reasons for Denture Repair

Cracks or Fractures — A denture can crack from an accidental drop or from ordinary wear over time.
Loose or Broken Teeth — Individual denture teeth may loosen, chip, or fall out and need to be reattached or replaced.
Poor Fit — Changes in the gums and jawbone over time can make a denture feel loose or cause sore spots.
Worn Clasps or Attachments — Partial dentures rely on clasps that can weaken or bend, affecting how securely the denture stays in place.

What to Expect

Denture repair typically begins with an evaluation of the damage and the overall condition of the denture. Depending on the issue, repairs may involve rebuilding a broken area, replacing a tooth, or adjusting the fit. Patients who need a longer-term solution may also want to ask about full Dentures or Implant-Supported Dentures, both offered at this practice.

When to Seek Repair

It's best not to wear a cracked or ill-fitting denture, since continued use can worsen the damage or irritate the gums. If your denture is broken, loose, or uncomfortable, Brighton Family Dentistry can take a look and discuss the options available to you.
