Why do dentures break?
The 3 most common reasons why dentures break include:
- Wear and tear. Chewing, temperature variations, the acidity of food and drinks you consume, and the moisture in your mouth can wear down a denture over time.
- Bone loss. Missing teeth often lead to progressive bone loss in the jaw, causing your denture to loosen and move around in your mouth. This lack of stability and fit puts stress on the denture, causing it to crack or break.
- Accidents. The daily process of removing, cleaning, and storing your dentures at night creates a risk for accidents (like dropping or losing them).
How to fix broken dentures
Depending on how badly broken your dentures are, and your specific situation, there are a few options for fixing dentures.
We never recommend denture glue as a permanent solution, but it can work in a pinch until you can come see us. For a long-term fix, a professional repair using denture acrylic is the best option. In some cases, a brand new set of dentures may be necessary.
Once we meet with you and take a look at your denture prosthesis, we’ll be able to make the best recommendation for your specific situation.
Denture replacement options
We work with many patients who, after experiencing a denture failure, don’t want to go back to traditional dentures and are ready for something new.
We often recommend implant overdentures as a great alternative. Overdentures are a modern method for securing full or partial dentures in your mouth to dental implants.
There are many benefits to this solution:
- Ensures the denture doesn’t fall out or come off unexpectedly
- Keeps the denture from sitting on your gums and improves chewing
- Good for the health of your jaw bone
- Much more comfortable compared to traditional dentures
You may also benefit from All-on-4 Implants or another tooth replacement option. We’ll find the best solution for you.
