Denture repair in Portage, MI

Yes. When handled by a professional, denture repair typically restores your dentures to their original strength, and we can often reinforce the fracture so they’re even stronger. We realign the pieces precisely, use high‑impact, ADA‑approved acrylics, and add mesh or fiber reinforcement in high‑stress areas. Your bite and fit are rechecked to help prevent future breaks. Every repair is carefully evaluated for comfort and durability and is backed by our guarantee. Need it fast? We offer same-day denture repair for most broken denture repairs.

Unfortunately, no. Don’t try to fix broken dentures at home. DIY glues or kits can weaken the acrylic, distort your bite, and cause sores or infection. Proper denture repair (and denture relining) requires dental-grade materials and specialized lab equipment, so schedule professional care with a licensed dentist, denturist, or a denture repair lab; many offer same-day or emergency denture repair. For general oral health information, visit Michigan Public Health Institute (MPHI).

Don’t wear dentures around the clock. Continuous wear traps bacteria and yeast, leading to discomfort, faster wear, chronic bad breath, a higher risk of infection (denture stomatitis), and gum disease. For best denture care and oral hygiene, remove them daily, ideally overnight, for 6–8 hours. Clean thoroughly, soak in an approved cleanser, and let your gums rest to protect gum health and extend the life of your dentures.

Yes-modern dentures can look like real teeth. Advances in cosmetic dentistry and dental materials allow labs to custom-match the shade, shape, and translucency of each tooth and the gumline to your features. A prosthodontist can design natural-looking dentures that fit your bite and facial proportions, so they appear lifelike, feel comfortable, and support your facial structure. With proper daily cleaning, overnight soaking, and routine relines, quality dentures often last 5–10 years. For the most realistic result, ask about premium tooth materials, digital smile design, and implant-supported dentures.

Common signs your dentures don’t fit properly include: Sore, inflamed, or raw gums and pressure spots or mouth sores. Slipping, rocking, or clicking when you talk, laugh, or chew, and poor suction or reliance on adhesive. Food collecting under the denture, jaw soreness or headaches, and changes in your bite or facial support. Trouble tasting or enjoying food, difficulty chewing certain textures, or gagging. If you notice any of these signs of ill-fitting dentures, see your dentist promptly for evaluation and possible denture relining; ongoing irritation can lead to infections and bone loss. Ask whether implant-supported dentures could provide better long-term stability.
