Frequently Asked Questions
How do dentures become damaged?
Dentures can become damaged from a range of factors, including natural wear, accidental impact or changes in the mouth over time. Chewing hard foods or using abrasive cleaning materials can also cause small cracks or fractures to develop. Even minor surface damage can worsen if left untreated, so it’s important to seek professional assessment promptly. Regular maintenance appointments help detect potential weak points early and prevent larger structural problems from developing.
Can damaged dentures be repaired?
In most cases, damaged dentures can be professionally repaired by a dental prosthetist. Repairs may involve rebonding fractured sections, replacing a lost tooth, or reinforcing the base for improved strength. When performed correctly, a repair can restore both function and comfort without compromising fit. However, if damage is extensive or the material has significantly deteriorated, replacement may be recommended. Timely professional repairs help extend the lifespan of dentures and prevent further complications.
How long does a denture repair take?
The time required for a denture repair varies depending on the severity of the damage. Minor repairs, such as small cracks, loose teeth or surface adjustments, can often be completed within the same day. More complex procedures, such as relines or full structural restorations, may take longer to ensure accuracy and durability. Your dental prosthetist will advise on the timeframe after examining the denture and determining the appropriate repair process.
When should dentures be replaced instead of repaired?
Dentures should be replaced when they become repeatedly damaged, no longer fit properly or show signs of significant wear. Over time, changes in gum and bone structure can alter the way dentures sit, making them less stable and comfortable. If frequent repairs are needed or discomfort persists, replacement may offer a safer and more reliable long-term solution. Regular professional evaluations help determine whether repair or replacement is the most suitable option.
Restoring Durability & Extending Denture Lifespan
A damaged denture doesn’t always mean it needs to be replaced. Many issues, such as cracks, loose teeth or general wear, can be resolved through careful repair. At Dentures Direct Ballina, we focus on restoring function and extending the life of your current dentures wherever possible. Professional repairs help maintain bite balance, prevent irritation and improve overall comfort. Using evidence-based repair techniques, we ensure that each adjustment or restoration is performed to meet clinical standards.
In addition to immediate repairs, we recommend routine assessments to identify early signs of material fatigue or changes in fit. Over time, natural alterations in the gums and jaw can affect how dentures sit, so periodic relining or refitting helps ensure continued comfort and performance. Our focus is on maintaining the health, stability and usability of every appliance through careful maintenance and professional support.
