Denture Repair
and Restoration

If we made your dentures and they break or lose a tooth because of a defect in craftsmanship while under warranty, we will gladly repair or replace them at no cost. Otherwise, we can repair them for a reasonable cost. Just bring them by or send them to our office as soon as possible. In most cases, we can fix your dentures while you wait or before the end of the following business day.

If your dentures are not broken but simply loose and causing you pain, it may be a sign your jawbone and gum ridges are receding as a result of aging. In that case, we may be able to fix the problem by relining or rebasing, rather than replacing them entirely. Just call our office and make an appointment for an evaluation.

How to care for your dentures

Dentures are fragile and should be handled with care. To prevent discoloration and plaque buildup, clean them daily with a special denture brush and toothpaste or use an approved denture cleanser. Soak them during sleep hours in water or a denture soaking solution. Always keep your dentures in a safe place and avoid dropping them.

Never attempt to fix broken dentures yourself. Do not try to fix loose teeth by using over-the-counter glues, which contain harmful chemicals, or Do-It-Yourself-Repair kits. You can easily cause more damage that will lead to higher repair cost.

For information about our denture repair services and fees, call 936-756-3611 or send us an e-mail.
