Denture repair in Leander, TX

Yes. When done by a professional using high-strength acrylics and proper reinforcement, denture repair can restore durability comparable to new. The final result depends on the size of the crack or break and the denture’s age and fit; sometimes a rebase or replacement is the better long-term fix. In our on-site lab, we use medical‑grade materials and precision bonding to repair broken dentures, often with same-day denture repair, so you can chew and smile confidently again. Bring all pieces and avoid DIY glues; we’ll assess and recommend the most reliable solution.

No. Do not attempt to fix broken dentures at home. DIY fixes and over-the-counter denture repair kits can misalign your bite, damage the acrylic, and introduce unsafe glues, often making the break worse and more expensive to correct. For a safe, precise fit, see a licensed dentist or prosthodontist for professional repair, denture relining, or rebasing; many offices offer same-day or emergency denture repair. Until your visit, stop wearing the denture, keep it clean and stored in water, and bring all pieces with you. More details about dentures can be found at Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS).

Denture repair fixes damage; denture relining improves fit. Repair restores a denture’s function and appearance by replacing broken teeth, fixing cracks or a fractured base, and adjusting or adding parts. Relining adds a fresh layer of acrylic or soft liner to the inner surface to match changes in your gums, improving comfort and stability without altering the teeth or overall look. If your appliance is broken, you need denture repair; if it’s loose or rubbing but intact, ask a prosthodontist about denture relining.

No, don’t sleep with your dentures in. Taking them out at night lets your gums rest and protects your oral health, lowering the risk of infections (denture stomatitis), sore spots, plaque buildup, bad breath, and bone loss. What to do instead: Remove dentures nightly, brush them gently, and soak in water or an ADA-approved cleanser. Clean your gums, tongue, and any natural teeth; rinse, then reinsert in the morning. Maintain regular dental checkups to ensure proper fit and adjustments for optimal denture care. If you occasionally need to wear them overnight, be extra diligent with denture hygiene and speak with your dentist about your gum health.

Common signs your dentures don’t fit properly include gum soreness or raw spots, painful or uneven chewing, rocking or looseness (even with adhesive), clicking or slipping when you talk, and irritation or ulcers on the gums or cheeks. If you notice these issues, schedule a denture adjustment: often a quick denture reline by a prosthodontist can restore comfort, protect your oral health, and prevent infections.
