Broken Denture? No problem, we will fix it in 30 min

For denture wearers, a chipped or broken tooth is a serious matter and requires prompt repair. When denture teeth break, it can have a lasting impact on the denture wearer as it will affect the chewing and speaking ability. The bite of the dentures will also be compromised and may cause discomfort. When it comes to repairing chipped or broken denture teeth, denture wearers should not try to repair them at home.

Common Causes of Denture Damage

The most common cause for a denture to break is wear and tear. A denture has gone through several stress cycles from chewing and regular wear after years of being used. A denture can also deteriorate due to changes in temperature from hot to cold and moisture in the mouth.

The denture may gradually become loose due to progressive bone loss. This bone loss leads to slipping of denture in and out of the mouth more readily if it is not fixed timely. Instability of denture may cause a fracture or break due to imbalance force or pressure.

Impact on Oral Health

Dentures replace missing teeth and support surrounding tissues in oral cavity. Damage to dentures causes a negative impact and challenging situations in routine life. Broken dentures cause difficulty in speaking and chewing functions in denture patients. Difficulty in eating can lead to improper dietary intake resulting in nutrition deficiency in the long term.

Potential Oral Health Complications

• Pain or discomfort to surrounding tissues
• Difficulty in eating and speaking
• Risk of soft tissues wear and tear
• Risk of gum irritation
• Jaw pain
• Bone loss and changes in facial structure

Midline fracture is the most common site of fracture in upper removable dentures.
