Denture Repairs & RELINES

At the Huntsville Denture Clinic we offer SAME DAY REPAIRS - cracked acrylic, broken denture tooth, broken clasp, or when one or more teeth need to be added to an existing denture due to tooth extraction. Most repairs can easily be done in one day, however keep in mind that repairs take different amounts of time depending on your unique situation. Don’t hesitate to call us and let us provide you with quick, quality service.

The most common reasons dentures need repairing is because they have been dropped while being cleaned or it can occur while you are eating. Chicken bones, hard candies, nut shells, hard bathroom floors, sinks, etc. can test the limits of denture tooth strength. When cleaning it is wise to fill your sink partially with water holding your denture low in the sink. This will likely prevent the denture from breaking should you lose your grip while brushing, also be mindful of what you are biting into when eating. Never attempt to repair or alter your dentures yourself. Do not use glue as it will actually do more damage to your denture.

As your gums shrink and your dentures age, they become less supported and while under the force of chewing can also lead to fractures. The way they align to one another can change and cause uneven pressure distribution. A regular check up with your denturist will determine this problem and explain how to prevent denture breakage from occurring.
