If your denture breaks, cracks, or becomes uncomfortable, don’t delay treatment. Our experienced dentists at Brisbane Emergency Dentist can provide same-day emergency repairs or adjustments to restore comfort and prevent further damage.
Dentures can break for several reasons, ranging from everyday use to sudden accidents. Some common causes include:
- Dropping the denture while cleaning or handling it.
- Wear and tear from years of regular use, chewing, and changes in temperature.
- Not removing dentures overnight, which puts continuous pressure on the material.
- Jawbone changes that alter the fit and increase stress on the denture base.
Improper cleaning methods, such as using boiling water or abrasive toothpaste.
Over time, even minor cracks can worsen if left untreated, leading to discomfort and poor fit.
Wearing a cracked or ill-fitting denture can cause:
- Irritation and inflammation of the gums.
- Difficulty chewing or speaking.
- Sores or ulcerations in the mouth due to friction.
- Jaw pain and muscle fatigue.
- Risk of infection if bacteria enter through open cracks.
A broken denture can significantly affect your confidence and oral function. Continuing to wear damaged dentures can worsen the condition, so it’s best to get them repaired as soon as possible.
At Brisbane Emergency Dentist, we offer quick and professional denture repair options to suit every case:
If your denture feels loose but isn’t structurally damaged, our dentists can realign it by adjusting its base to fit the current contours of your mouth.
When the denture base becomes worn or cracked but the teeth remain intact, we replace the base while keeping the original teeth. This process is known as rebasing.
Sometimes, minor adjustments can solve pressure points or discomfort without full repair. Our dentists can reshape or polish the denture for a better fit.
All repairs are handled with precision to restore your denture’s comfort, fit, and functionality quickly.
If your dentures break frequently or feel uncomfortable despite repairs, you may benefit from a more stable, long-term solution.
Implant-supported dentures are secured by dental implants placed in the jawbone, providing greater stability and strength compared to traditional removable dentures.
- They do not shift or move while eating or speaking.
- Offer a more natural appearance and comfortable fit.
- Prevent bone loss caused by missing teeth.
Our dental team can assess whether an implant-supported denture system is right for you.
