Denture repair in Carmichael, CA

Professional repairs can restore your denture’s strength and fit to near-like-new condition. In many cases, a lab-quality repair is as strong as the original, but durability depends on the location of the break, the age of the acrylic, and how well the denture still fits. Our technicians use high‑impact, heat‑cured acrylics and precision bonding to reinforce cracks, then finish and check the bite for comfort and function. Most cases qualify for same-day denture repair; if a rebase or remake is the better long‑term solution, we’ll tell you. Contact us for emergency denture repair or denture crack repair.

Dentures typically start falling out because your gums and jawbone naturally shrink over time (resorption), the denture no longer fits accurately, clasps on partials are worn, or adhesive is being used incorrectly. See your dentist for a fit check; they can adjust the appliance, provide denture relining or rebasing, perform denture repair, or recommend replacement. If they’re frequently dropping or causing sore spots, book an urgent visit; emergency denture repair may be needed. Avoid DIY fixes or household glues, which can damage the denture and irritate tissues. A thin layer of denture adhesive can help, but it’s not a substitute for a proper fit. For long-term stability, ask about implant-retained dentures. Discover more on Department of Health Care Services.

No, don’t wear dentures 24/7. Continuous wear traps bacteria and plaque, increasing the risk of gum disease, sore spots, and denture stomatitis. For best denture care and oral hygiene, remove them daily, ideally overnight (6–8 hours), to let your gums and soft tissues rest. Clean the dentures thoroughly, brush your gums and tongue, and store the appliance in water or a denture-cleaning solution. This protects gum health and helps your dentures last longer.

Yes. Today’s dentures can look remarkably like real teeth. Skilled dentists and lab technicians create natural-looking dentures by customizing tooth shape, shade, and translucency, contouring and tinting the gums, and using digital impressions with high‑quality materials for a precise fit. A wax try‑in lets you preview your smile and request adjustments so the final result appears seamless and lifelike. For the most realistic dentures and added stability, consider implant‑supported prosthetic teeth. With expert planning and care, most people won’t be able to tell you’re wearing dentures.

Signs your dentures aren’t fitting properly include: Slipping or shifting when you talk, smile, or eat. Gum or palate soreness and denture sores. Painful or inefficient chewing. Changes in speech (lisping or clicking). Poor suction or trouble seating/removing them. Relying on more adhesive or noticing reduced taste. If you notice any of these with ill-fitting dentures, schedule a denture adjustment with your dentist or a prosthodontist. Prompt care (often a denture relining or replacement) restores comfort and protects your oral health.
