Denture repair in Huntington Park, CA

Yes, when repaired by a professional, dentures can be very durable. Using dental‑lab materials and proper bonding techniques, we restore strength and function to match your original fit in most cases, often with same‑day service. If your denture has fractured more than once, we may recommend a reline or replacement for long‑term reliability. Avoid DIY denture repair glue; it weakens the base and can irritate tissues. For fast, dependable results, schedule emergency denture repair or a denture reline evaluation.

No. Please don’t try to repair broken dentures at home. Superglue and DIY kits can weaken the acrylic, distort your bite, and increase the risk of irritation or infection. Visit our clinic for a professional evaluation: our licensed team uses dental-grade materials to provide precise repairs, denture relining, or guidance on replacement if needed. For urgent issues, call us about emergency denture repair and ask about same-day denture repair when available. Looking for more information about dentures? Please check Covered California.

Don’t wear dentures 24/7. Keeping them in continuously can irritate and damage your oral tissues and increases the risk of sores, fungal infections (thrush), gum disease, and bad breath from bacterial buildup. For optimal denture hygiene and oral health, dentists recommend removing them every night, brushing and soaking them in a denture-cleaning solution, gently cleaning your gums and tongue, and letting your mouth rest for 6–8 hours. Store dentures in clean water or cleanser overnight. Consistent denture care helps keep tissues healthy and your dentures fitting comfortably.

No, sleeping with dentures isn’t recommended. Wearing them overnight can trap bacteria and moisture, leading to gum irritation, sore spots, and fungal infection (denture stomatitis). For optimal denture care and oral health: Remove dentures before bed unless your dentist advises otherwise. Brush your dentures gently and clean your gums, tongue, and palate. Do overnight denture soaking in a mild, non-abrasive cleanser or plain water to keep them clean and maintain their shape. If you experience ongoing soreness or redness, contact your dentist.

You likely need new dentures if they feel loose or slip when you talk or eat, cause sore spots or gum pain, or make chewing and speaking harder. Visible damage (like chips, cracks, warping, or a broken base) also signals it’s time. If your bite has changed, your dentures are over 5–7 years old, or you’re needing frequent denture repair or denture relining to stay comfortable, consider denture replacement. See your dentist promptly. Wearing ill-fitting dentures can irritate oral tissues and speed bone loss. A professional exam will determine whether an adjustment or relining can fix the issue or if new dentures are the best solution.
