Broken Dentures? Here’s What You Need to Know
Dentures always seem to break at the worst possible time — right before dinner, a family gathering, or as you’re heading out the door. It’s tempting to reach for superglue or a “DIY repair kit,” but here’s the truth: fixing dentures at home can cause serious damage.
🚫 Why Glue Is Dangerous
• Not Safe for Your Mouth: Household glues contain harsh chemicals that can irritate gums, trigger allergic reactions, or even be toxic.
• Can Destroy Your Denture: Glue seeps into cracks and hardens incorrectly, making professional repair difficult or sometimes impossible. In many cases, the denture must be replaced
entirely.
• Poor Fit & Comfort: Even if the glue holds, the denture won’t sit properly. This can cause sore spots, trouble chewing, and embarrassment if the repair fails in public.
✅ The Right Way: Professional Repair
Our Dental Prosthetists use specialised equipment and materials designed to safely repair broken dentures. A professional repair ensures:
• Correct alignment of all pieces.
• Strong, dental‑grade acrylic for lasting durability.
• Safe, biocompatible materials in your mouth.
• Cost savings by avoiding a full replacement.
What To Do If Your Denture Breaks
• Keep the pieces clean and dry — don’t glue them.
• Call us immediately on 03 9398 0331 — we provide same‑day repairs.
• Bring every piece with you, even the smallest fragments, as they can help with the repair.
The Bottom Line
Dentures aren’t ordinary objects — they’re precision medical devices made to fit your mouth. A quick DIY fix may seem convenient, but it risks your health, comfort, and confidence. The safest choice is always professional repair.
