Are your dentures feeling loose or uncomfortable? Have you noticed cracks or chips in your dentures? It might be time for a denture repair. At Pearl Dental Clinic in London, we understand the importance of having well-fitting and functional dentures. In this article, we will cover everything you need to know about denture repair, including the causes of denture damage, the repair process, and tips for maintaining your dentures.
Dentures can become damaged due to a variety of reasons, including:
Over time, dentures may wear down due to regular use. This can cause cracks or chips to form, which can affect the fit and function of your dentures.
Dentures can also become damaged due to accidents or trauma, such as dropping them on a hard surface or biting down on something hard.
If dentures are not cleaned and maintained properly, they can become brittle and more susceptible to damage.
If you suspect that your dentures need repair, it’s important to schedule an appointment with one of our emergency dentists as soon as possible. Here’s what you can expect during the dentures repairs process:
Our dentist will examine your dentures to determine the extent of the damage and whether repair is possible.
If repair is possible, the dentist will liaise with our onsite denture technician who will use special materials and tools to fix any cracks, chips, or other damage to your dentures. If repair is not possible, we can provide with same-day dentures usually within 24 hours.
Once your dentures are repaired, the dentist will make any necessary adjustments to ensure that they fit properly and are comfortable to wear.
To avoid damage to your dentures, it’s important to take good care of them. Here are some tips for maintaining your dentures:
Clean your dentures at least once a day using a denture cleaner and a soft-bristled brush.
When handling your dentures, be gentle to avoid dropping them or causing damage.
When you’re not wearing your dentures, store them in a safe place, such as a denture cup with water or a denture case.
Avoid biting down on hard foods, such as nuts or hard candy, as this can cause damage to your dentures.
Schedule regular check-ups with the dentist to ensure that your dentures are in good condition and fit properly.
