Denture repair lab in Munster, IN

Yes, when repaired by a professional, dentures can be strong and long-lasting. While a repaired appliance may not match the lifespan of a brand-new denture, our lab-grade materials and precision techniques restore strength, fit, and function. We evaluate the cause of damage, crack, broken denture, or loose fit, and recommend the right fix, such as reinforcement, tooth replacement, or denture relining. If the base is severely compromised or breaks recur, we’ll advise when a replacement is the better investment. We offer prompt, often same-day service and emergency denture repair. Contact us to schedule an evaluation and restore your smile with confidence.

Dentures usually start slipping because the fit has changed. Over time, your gums and jawbone naturally shrink (bone resorption), the denture base or teeth can wear or warp, and changes in saliva, weight, or medications can reduce suction, resulting in loose dentures. What to do: Schedule a fitting and evaluation right away. Avoid DIY fixes or household glues. Most issues are resolved with denture relining, rebasing, or professional denture repair; if wear is extensive, replacement or implant-retained dentures may be recommended for maximum stability. A small amount of denture adhesive can help temporarily, but it’s not a long-term solution. Prompt care restores comfort, function, and confidence.

Denture repair fixes structural damage (cracks, fractures, or missing/broken teeth or clasps) by fabricating new parts and securely integrating them. Denture relining doesn’t change the teeth; it refreshes the inner surface to match your current gums, improving comfort and stability after normal bone changes. Choose repair if something is broken; choose relining if the denture feels loose or causes sore spots. A prosthodontist can advise which you need and may complete many denture repair or denture relining services the same day.

Yes, modern dentures can look just like real teeth. Advances in cosmetic dentistry, digital scanning, and high-quality materials allow dentists to craft natural-looking dentures that match your bite, gum line, and facial features. A skilled prosthodontist can fine-tune tooth shape, color, translucency, and gum shading for a seamless, lifelike smile and comfortable fit. For the most realistic result, consider options like layered tooth materials and implant-supported dentures.

Yes. If your dentures feel loose, rock when you bite, or show cracks, chips, or staining that won’t clean off, schedule an exam; these are signs they may need denture repair, a professional reline, or full denture replacement. Most dentures need reassessment every few years as your gums and bone change. To extend their lifespan and catch problems early: Clean daily with a non-abrasive brush and approved denture-cleaning solution; soak them overnight and avoid hot water. See your dentist every 6–12 months for fit checks and adjustments. Don’t use DIY glues or extra adhesive to “fix” issues; get a proper denture relining or repair.
