Broken dentures can ruin your day. A cracked acrylic base, loose tooth, or broken clasp stops you from eating and speaking normally. Shreve Denture Clinic provides same-day emergency denture repair services across Essex County Ontario. We fix most denture repair needs in just a few hours. You should always get your dentures repaired by professional denturists.
Common Denture Problems That Need Fast Repair
A cracked or broken acrylic base is the most common emergency. Your dentures can crack when they fall on hard floors. The break can go right through the base, making them unwearable. Small cracks also grow quickly. What starts as a tiny line becomes a complete break within 24 hours.
Missing replacement teeth create gaps in your smile and affect your ability to eat. Teeth break off when you eat hard foods or drop your dentures. Broken clasps on partial dentures cause similar difficulty. The metal clips bend or snap, making your dentures slip around and cause discomfort.
Sharp edges and rough spots create irritation on your gums. Uneven surfaces cause painful sores on your gums and cheeks. You need these problems fixed as soon as possible.
Why You Should Skip the DIY Denture Fixes
Many people try using superglue or drugstore repair kits when their dentures break. These DIY fixes always fail and often make problems worse.
Superglue contains chemicals that harm your mouth. The bond does not hold up to daily chewing forces. Your dentures break again within hours. Drugstore kits use weak materials that create uneven repairs and shorten the lifespan of your dentures.
Professional repairs from our dental laboratory use proper materials and techniques. We fix problems correctly the first time.

What Happens During Your Repair Visit
We make the repair process simple. Here is what to expect when you get your dentures repaired at Shreve Denture Clinic.
First, we examine every denture carefully in our dental laboratory. We check for all problems, not just the obvious ones. This complete check addresses all your denture repair needs.
Next, we explain what repairs you need and exactly how much each affordable repair costs. You approve the work before we start. Ask us any questions you have.
For same-day repairs, you wait in our comfortable clinic. We keep you updated while our in-house lab works. Most repairs finish within 24 hours or less.
When repairs are done, we test the fit and make adjustments. You leave with fitting dentures that work properly and feel secure.
How to Prevent Denture Damage
Good daily care extends the lifespan of every denture you own. Hold your dentures over a soft towel when cleaning them. Clean them daily with proper denture cleaner, never regular toothpaste which scratches the surface.
Store dentures in water or denture solution when you take them out. This stops the acrylic base from drying out and warping. Take your dentures out before bed unless we tell you otherwise.
Come in for regular check-ups. We spot small problems before they become emergencies. Custom adjustments prevent bigger issues. Small fixes cost less than major repairs or a new one. Never use your dentures to open packages or bite very hard foods.
If you see small cracks or feel changes in fit, call us right away.
The Problems of Waiting Too Long
Putting off repairs creates bigger issues. Small cracks in your acrylic base turn into complete breaks. What could have been a simple fix becomes a major repair or need for a new one.
Broken dentures hurt your gum tissues and cause irritation. Poor fit affects your jaw bone over time. You lose your ability to eat properly without fitting dentures. This difficulty hurts your nutrition and health. Speech problems affect your work and social life. Missing or broken dentures hurt your confidence and cause discomfort.
Quick repairs cost much less than a new one. Shreve Denture Clinic saves you money with fast, affordable, professional repairs.
