A broken denture can leave you unable to eat comfortably, speak clearly, or feel confident around other people, and waiting days for a repair only prolongs it.
Roman Dental offers same-day denture repairs in West Houston, TX, for most cracked and fractured dentures, using professional dental lab methods so the repaired denture is strong and comfortable to wear.
Most broken dentures are repaired and ready for pickup the same day, so you are not left without your denture for long.
Repairs use dental lab materials and methods, and the dental team checks that each denture is strong, comfortable, and cosmetically appropriate before it goes home with you.
If a denture cannot be repaired, Roman Dental also makes new dentures, including full, partial, and implant-supported options, in the same West Houston office.
A denture repair is the process of fixing a cracked or broken denture by realigning the pieces and rejoining them with professional dental lab materials, so the denture you already wear stays in use instead of being replaced. It works best on a fresh break with clean edges, which is why a damaged denture should be seen by a dentist before anything is done to it at home.
Dental guidance is to contact a dentist when a denture becomes damaged, and a repair is an option when the denture otherwise fits well. A repair fixes the break only. A denture that has gone loose because the gums have changed shape needs a reline, and one that cannot be repaired is replaced. Roman Dental handles all three in its West Houston office.
A broken denture can usually be repaired in about six hours at Roman Dental, with dentures dropped off before 11:00 AM ready for pickup around 5:00 PM the same day. Same-day repair is available for most cases at the West Houston office, and a repair may take longer when the break is complex.
A repair gives you back the denture you already use, usually within the day, so a break does not disrupt your meals or conversations for long.
Repairing a denture instead of remaking it keeps the shape your mouth is used to, so you skip the adjustment period that comes with a new one.
A clean break repaired before anything is applied to it stays repairable, while a denture that has been glued at home often has to be replaced.
The same visit shows whether the denture needs a repair, a reline, or a replacement, so you are not guessing.
The denture repairs performed at Roman Dental involve professional dental lab materials and methods. This is completely different from do-it-yourself denture repair kits sold in local pharmacies, which are only temporary and can permanently damage the denture.
Household glues, super glue, and pharmacy repair materials contaminate & distort the fracture surfaces. Once this occurs, the pieces often cannot be positioned accurately and the denture may no longer be repairable. For best results, bring the broken denture to us **without applying any glue or DIY materials**.
Not all dentures can be repaired. Flexible dentures, commonly known by the brand name “Valplast,” are made of a nylon-like polymer. Because this material does not bond to traditional denture repair resins, these appliances typically cannot be repaired and must be remade.
Additionally, dentures must have clean, fresh fracture lines. If adhesives or glues have been applied, the broken edges become distorted and cannot be aligned correctly. In these cases, the denture will usually need to be replaced entirely.
A denture repair in West Houston typically costs about $200 to $300 before insurance. Repairing a broken base runs about $203 to $294, replacing a single tooth about $215, and repairing a clasp about $300.
If your denture breaks, keep every piece and avoid applying glue or any repair material. Roman Dental in West Houston repairs most broken dentures the same day when they are dropped off before 11:00 AM.
DIY denture repair kits work only as a temporary fix and can permanently damage the denture. Glue and pharmacy repair materials contaminate and distort the fracture surfaces, so Roman Dental advises bringing a broken denture in without applying anything.
A cracked or broken denture can usually be repaired when the break edges are clean. Flexible dentures, commonly called Valplast, are made of a nylon-like polymer that does not bond to repair resins, so they must be remade, and dentures with glued or distorted edges usually need replacing too. Roman Dental fits new dentures in West Houston when a repair is not possible.
Roman Dental checks a repaired denture to make sure it is strong, comfortable, and cosmetically appropriate before the patient goes back to normal use.
A broken or missing tooth on a denture can be replaced at Roman Dental, so the whole denture does not need to be remade.
A partial denture with a cracked base or a broken clasp can often be repaired, depending on the material and how clean the break is.
Dental insurance may cover part of a denture repair, depending on the plan, and Roman Dental accepts most PPO plans.
A denture needs a repair when it is cracked or broken, and a poorly fitting denture may need a reline when the gums and jawbone have changed shape. A dentist can tell the two apart at one visit, and Roman Dental offers both in West Houston.
