Denture repair in Madison Heights, MI

Yes, when done properly, repaired dentures can be just as strong as new. Our clinicians and partner lab use high‑impact, heat‑cured acrylics and, when needed, reinforcement at the fracture line to restore strength and prevent repeat breaks. The final durability depends on the denture’s age, fit, and the extent of the damage; if it’s worn out or has multiple fractures, replacement may be the better long‑term solution. Avoid DIY glues, and bring in chips or cracks early for professional denture repair, including denture crack repair or same‑day denture repair when appropriate. Schedule an evaluation and we’ll give you a clear recommendation for the most durable, comfortable result.

Dentures usually loosen or fall out because they no longer fit your gums and jaw, tissues naturally change over time, and the denture base or teeth can wear down. A poor initial fit, cracks or warped acrylic, broken clasps, or relying on adhesive instead of proper adjustments can also cause instability. Schedule an in-person evaluation at our lab. We’ll assess your fit and bite, then provide the right solution, often a same-day denture adjustment or denture relining. If needed, we can perform denture repair, a rebase, or discuss replacement. Avoid DIY glues; they can damage your denture and irritate tissues. For insurance and consumer guidance, visit the Michigan Department of Insurance and Financial Services (DIFS).

Don’t wear your dentures around the clock. Keeping them in 24/7 can irritate your gums, increase your risk of infection, and even warp or crack the denture over time. For proper denture care and oral health, remove them daily, ideally overnight for 6–8 hours, clean them thoroughly (brush and soak), and gently brush your gums and tongue before reinserting. This simple denture hygiene routine helps protect your tissues and the fit of your dentures.

No, don’t sleep with your dentures in. Overnight wear puts unnecessary pressure on your gums and jaw, increasing the risk of soreness, infections, and damage to the appliance. For optimal oral health and denture care, remove them before bed, clean your gums and the denture, and store it in a secure container filled with a denture-cleaning solution or plain water to keep it moist. This simple denture hygiene step helps your mouth rest and your dentures last longer.

Yes. If your dentures feel loose, rub, or don’t stay put, it’s probably time to replace them. Other signs include visible wear, cracks or fractures, staining you can’t polish away, changes in your bite or speech, sore spots, or needing frequent denture relining. Most dentures last about 5–7 years before natural bone changes lead to ill-fitting dentures. For a precise diagnosis, schedule an exam with your dentist or a prosthodontist. They’ll determine whether a reline, repair, new dentures, or an implant-supported option is the best next step.
