BROKEN DENTURES

Is my broken denture a dental emergency? Yes, a broken denture in Ft. Lauderdale should be seen by an emergency dentist right away.

How you should handle a broken denture: You do have the option to purchase a denture repair kit; however, these are strongly discouraged if not absolutely necessary simply because they are not very effective. It’s actually best to simply avoid wearing the prosthetic at all during this time.

How we treat broken dentures: Treating a broken denture is based on the severity of the damage. If only chipped or slightly damaged, we may be able to fix it with cosmetic bonding. However, if the crack is quite severe and diminishes the functionality of the prosthetic, the only solution is to have it replaced. Otherwise, there are alternatives to dentures that you and your dentist can discuss – dental bridges or dental implants.
