Broken Dentures

A cracked or broken denture is a denture wearer’s nightmare. That it can happen anytime and anywhere only add to the horror. Your daily routine is affected, and your confidence will be nowhere in sight.

That’s why at Mayfield Dental Care, we provide quick and efficient service for dental emergencies such as this.

Mayfield Dental Care offers a same-day emergency appointment to tend to your need as soon as possible.

Common Causes Of Broken Dentures

Natural deterioration.

Although made of durable materials, no dentures can last forever. Every denture has a breaking point. And as they are exposed to daily cycles of strenuous chewing, biting, and other similar actions, their strength weakens until they break. Thermal changes in the mouth can also contribute to their wear.

Accidental or incidental breakage.

Even the most careful denture wearer can accidentally break his/ her dentures. Accidental damage from falling is one of the most common causes of broken dentures.

Improper use.

To maximise your dentures use, you have to follow certain precautionary measures. Sticky and hard or sharp foods are some of the things you have to avoid. Using your dentures as tools other than what they are intended for can also cause their damage.

Ill-fitting dentures.

Ill-fitting dentures can be caused by two reasons – poor dental work and progressive bone loss. If you feel your dentures move around, visit your dentist immediately.

What To Do For Broken Dentures?

If you see a crack on your dentures or if your dentures are broken, never attempt to repair them yourself. Doing such can only make matters worse.

Denture repair requires the skill and knowledge of your dentures. Over-the-counter repair kits can cause permanent damage to your dentures, and their glue is not completely safe for you.

The best thing to do to stop your inconvenience is to visit your Mayfield Dental Care dentist right away. If the damage is not much, your dentist may be able to repair the dentures in the office. But if, upon checking your dentures and your mouth, your dentist suggested that you need a new one, then you have to get a new one, moulded to your new measurements.
