Denture repair in Bayonne, NJ

Yes. When repaired by a professional, dentures are typically restored to their original strength, and the repaired area can be even stronger. We use high‑impact, lab‑cured acrylic and, when needed, fiber or metal reinforcement to ensure lasting durability and a precise fit. If your denture is older or keeps cracking, we may recommend denture relining or a replacement to prevent future breaks. Need it fast?

No. Do not try to fix broken dentures at home. Glues and DIY denture repair kits can damage the acrylic, irritate your gums, misalign your bite, and turn a simple crack into a costly replacement. Call a dentist or prosthodontist for a professional evaluation; many offer emergency denture repair or same-day denture repair, and can perform denture relining to restore a safe, comfortable fit. In the meantime, stop wearing the denture, keep any broken pieces, and bring them to your visit. Read more at New Jersey Department of Health.

No, wearing dentures around the clock isn’t recommended. Continuous wear can irritate your gums, reduce natural saliva flow, and cause dry mouth and bad breath; it also increases the risk of denture stomatitis. Because your mouth and jawbone change over time, constant use can lead to a loose or poor fit and sore spots. Best practice for denture care: remove them every night, gently brush your dentures and gums, soak the dentures in a disinfecting solution, and store them in clean water. This simple denture hygiene routine protects your oral health and helps your dentures fit comfortably longer.

No, sleeping with dentures is not recommended. Wearing them overnight increases the risk of sore spots, gum irritation, oral infections (including thrush), bad breath, and can loosen or warp the appliance. For optimal oral health and denture hygiene, remove your dentures every night as part of your denture care routine: clean them thoroughly, soak them in a denture cleanser, and brush your gums and tongue. If you have immediate dentures or specific instructions from your dentist, follow those guidelines and ask about the safest overnight routine.

Common signs of ill‑fitting dentures include sore spots or ulcers on your gums, pain or pressure when biting, clicking or shifting while you speak or chew, difficulty keeping the dentures in place, food getting trapped under the denture, excessive saliva or drooling, and an irregular or changing bite. If you notice these issues, schedule a denture adjustment or denture relining with your dentist or a prosthodontist. Prompt care helps prevent irritation, infections, and long‑term bone changes.
