Denture repair in Livingston, NJ

Not always. A professionally repaired denture can be nearly as strong as new, but final strength depends on where it broke, the age of the acrylic, prior repairs, and how well it fits. We use high‑impact, heat‑cured acrylic and precision bonding, plus fiber or metal reinforcement when needed, to restore reliable function. If your denture has multiple fractures or significant wear, a remake or reline may be the longer‑lasting option. For fast help, we offer same-day denture repair and emergency denture repair; avoid DIY glues, which can damage the base and complicate future denture repair.

No, please don’t attempt to fix a broken denture at home. Household glues and DIY kits can warp the acrylic, irritate your gums, and turn a simple crack into a costly replacement. Our lab provides safe, professional repairs that restore proper fit and function. Bring all pieces with you, avoid wearing the denture, and call to schedule care, ask about emergency denture repair, same-day denture repair, or denture relining as needed.

Don’t wear dentures around the clock. Constant wear puts unhealthy pressure on your gum tissue and oral mucosa, leading to irritation, sore spots, and yeast overgrowth (denture stomatitis) from plaque and bacteria on the denture surface. For optimal denture care, oral hygiene, and gum health, remove them at least once daily, ideally overnight, brush and soak them in a denture cleanser, and gently clean your gums and tongue. If you develop persistent soreness, redness, or a poor fit, see your dentist for an adjustment or evaluation.

No, it's best not to sleep with your dentures. Wearing them overnight can let them shift, rub, and cause sore spots, and it increases your risk of irritation and infection. For proper denture care and oral hygiene, remove them before bed, clean and soak them, and gently brush your gums to support gum health. Only sleep in dentures if your dentist specifically advises it (such as right after extractions).

You likely need denture replacement if your dentures feel loose, are cracked or worn, look discolored, or no longer fit comfortably. Sore spots where the denture rests, gum irritation, difficulty chewing or speaking, or needing frequent adhesive are also red flags. Schedule an exam: your dentist can determine whether a simple denture relining or repair will fix the issue, or if a new set is the best choice for your long-term oral health.
