- Do not try to glue the denture with household or super glue.
- Avoid wearing a cracked denture, which can cut your gums or break further.

Why You Should Never Glue a Denture
Household glues can contain chemicals that are not safe in the mouth, and they often leave the pieces misaligned. Glue also makes a professional repair harder and sometimes impossible.
Common Denture Repairs Near Cave Spring
Cracked or Fractured Base
Cracks often start as a hairline line in the middle of an upper denture or behind the front teeth. Many can be repaired if the pieces fit back together accurately.
Broken or Missing Tooth
A chipped or lost denture tooth can usually be replaced and bonded into the base.
Broken Partial Clasp
Clasps on partial dentures can bend or break and may be repaired or replaced, depending on the design.
Why Dentures Break
- Dropping the denture on a hard surface
- Biting on very hard foods
- Poor fit that flexes the denture when chewing
- Normal wear and material fatigue over years
Preventing Future Breaks
Handle your denture over a towel or sink of water, store it in a container when it is out, and keep up with relines so it fits properly. A denture that rocks is more likely to crack.
Getting By Until Your Repair Visit
- Use a spare or older denture if you have one
- Choose soft foods that need little chewing
- Keep the broken pieces dry and protected
- Rinse your mouth after meals to keep gums clean
If a sharp edge is irritating your mouth, leave the denture out and call us. Over-the-counter repair kits are not recommended, since they can make a professional repair harder.
When a Repair Is Not Enough
If the denture has broken more than once, is very worn, or no longer fits, a new or relined denture may serve you better. Our denture repair and relines in Roanoke guide explains the full range of services.
