What to Do If Your Denture Breaks?

Dentures are essential for many people, allowing them to eat, speak, and smile confidently. However, due to daily use or an accident, they can break, crack, or fracture. When this happens, it’s important to stay calm and follow the right steps to avoid further damage.

At Dental Artistry, we’ll explain how to handle a broken denture and when to see your dentist for professional repair.

⚠️ Why Can a Denture Break?

• Accidental drops or impacts

• Chewing very hard foods

• Poor fit due to natural wear

• Changes in the shape of the jawbone

• Old or low-quality materials

✅ What to Do If Your Denture Breaks

1. Collect all pieces
   If your denture breaks into several fragments, carefully store them in a clean container.

2. Don’t try to fix it yourself
   While there are DIY repair kits, improper use can cause further damage. Avoid using industrial glues or adhesives not meant for oral use.

3. Gently clean the denture
   Use warm water and a soft brush to remove any debris before bringing it to the dentist.

4. Use a backup denture if you have one
   If you have a spare set, use it temporarily while your main denture is being repaired.

5. Schedule an urgent appointment with your dentist
   The dentist will assess the damage and determine whether the denture can be repaired or if a new one needs to be made.

🚫 What NOT to Do

• Don’t use super glue or other household adhesives

• Don’t chew hard foods while the denture is damaged

• Don’t attempt to file or adjust the denture yourself
