Denture repair in La Habra, CA

Yes. When repaired by a qualified dental team, dentures usually regain their original strength and can often be reinforced to be even more durable. We use high‑impact, pressure‑cured acrylics and, when appropriate, fiber or metal reinforcement to address the cause of the break and restore function and fit. That said, longevity also depends on the denture’s age, fit, and the extent of damage; recurring fractures may be better served with a reline, rebase, or remake. If you’ve experienced a denture crack or break, schedule an evaluation. We offer same-day denture repair and emergency denture repair whenever possible.

The most common reason dentures keep falling out is an improper fit, often from natural changes in your gums and jawbone, worn denture surfaces, or a damaged base. When the fit isn’t precise, your mouth can’t create the suction and support needed, so slipping occurs. What to do: Schedule a professional evaluation. We can restore stability with a denture adjustment or denture relining; severely loose dentures may need to be remade. Denture adhesive can help short term, but it won’t correct the underlying fit, and DIY glues can damage your appliance. If your denture keeps slipping, same-day care or emergency denture repair may be appropriate. Learn more at Department of Consumer Affairs.

Denture repair fixes structural damage (think cracks, breaks, or missing teeth/clasps) so your appliance works and looks right again. A denture reline reshapes the tissue-side surface to improve fit and comfort as your gums and bone change over time. Choose repair for broken dentures or lost components; choose a reline when the denture feels loose, rubs, or causes sore spots. Most services can be done quickly in-office by a prosthodontist; avoid DIY glues, which can permanently damage the acrylic.

Yes. Today’s dentures are custom-designed to look like real teeth and gums, with lifelike tooth shapes and shading that match your smile. Using digital impressions and advanced materials, your dentist can achieve a secure, comfortable fit; options like implant-supported dentures often feel especially stable. Expect a brief adjustment period and follow-up fittings to fine-tune comfort and bite. For the most natural-looking dentures, consult a prosthodontist or a dentist with advanced cosmetic dentistry training.

You likely need new dentures if they’re loose or slipping, cracked, visibly worn, or causing pain when you eat or speak. Schedule an exam with a dentist or prosthodontist; they’ll assess the fit and your oral tissues, then recommend the right solution: an adjustment, denture relining or denture repair, or full denture replacement (including implant-supported options). Prompt care helps prevent sores and chewing or speech problems.
