Denture Repairs
Fast, Expert Repairs — Walk-Ins Welcome
A cracked, chipped, or broken denture is stressful — but it doesn't have to ruin your day. At Berlanga Dentures, we offer fast, high-quality denture repairs at Parkland Denture Center in Tacoma and Meridian Denture Center in Puyallup. In many cases, we can complete your repair the same day you bring your dentures in. Walk-ins are welcome, and we repair dentures regardless of where they were originally purchased. Don't wait on a broken denture. Damaged or ill-fitting dentures can worsen over time and create serious oral health complications, and the sooner a repair is made, the less likely you are to need a full replacement.
Common Reasons for Denture Repairs
Just like natural teeth, dentures experience wear and tear over time. Common reasons patients come to us for repairs include:
Cracked, chipped, or broken denture teeth
A denture that has snapped in half
Damaged or broken metal clasps on a partial denture
Gum damage caused by an ill-fitting denture
Accidental drops
What Causes Denture Damage?
One of the most common causes of denture damage is a poor fit. When dentures don't fit correctly, certain teeth absorb more stress than others during chewing, speaking, and everyday movement, eventually leading to cracks or breaks.
Accidental drops are another frequent cause. Even a short fall onto a hard surface can crack or shatter denture material. We always recommend cleaning your dentures over a folded towel or a sink with water in it to cushion any accidental drops.
Normal wear and tear affects all dentures over time, particularly the metal clasps on partial dentures.
Do NOT Attempt Home Repairs
We understand the temptation to try a quick fix, but home repair kits, super glue, and DIY attempts can permanently damage the surface of your denture, making a professional repair impossible and leaving you with no choice but a full replacement. If your dentures break, contact us right away rather than reaching for a home remedy.
Are Denture Repairs Expensive?
Repairs are almost always significantly less expensive than replacing your dentures entirely. Addressing damage early before it compounds, is the most cost-effective approach to keeping your dentures in great shape. With proper care and timely repairs, your dentures can last 10 years or more.
