Denture repairs Tweed Heads and Gold Coast

Denture repair Tweed Heads

When you need urgent denture repair, we can help! Breaking a denture doesn’t have to be your worst nightmare. The first thing you want to know is can your denture be repaired, followed quickly by, how long will the repair take and how much will it cost? Read on for answers to your dilemma.

Emergency denture repair for all types of dentures

No appointment is necessary for emergency denture repair. Bring your denture to our Gold Coast denture clinic in Tweed Heads where we will assess the damage and advise if your denture is repairable, how long the repairs will take, and how much the denture repair will cost. This applies to full dentures as well as partial denture repair. The assessment is without obligation to you.

Same day repair for cracked and broken dentures

We offer a same day denture repair service for simple repairs like denture cracks or broken dentures . A simple repair depends on whether the break is clean, and if the broken pieces fit neatly back together. If this is the case, your repair can be done without the need for taking impressions.

If your breakage fits these criteria, you could have your denture returned to you on the same day, or in as little as 4 hours (weekdays), dependent on the damage. However, if there are acrylic or metal clasp breaks, or the false tooth adjacent to a natural tooth has broken off your partial denture, impressions will be needed, and for this you will need to schedule an appointment.

What if my broken denture repair is more complex?

Depending on the degree of damage, most dentures are repairable with the exception of those constructed with thermoplastic materials such as Valplast. Thermosens dentures are repairable but rarely break.

Of course, if your dog has chewed your dentures beyond recognition, or if you have dropped them and they shattered, then new ones may be in order.

Whenever impressions are needed for broken denture repair, appointments must be scheduled, and repairs may take longer.

Cobalt chrome denture repair

The metal composition of the Chrome denture excludes it from same day denture repair. Repairs involve re-welding in a specialist chrome laboratory. Depending on the repairs required, this can take up to 3-5 working days. Get in contact for our denture repair prices.

Repair of bad fitting dentures

Perhaps you are suffering with loose or badly fitting dentures. Our dental prosthetist can help by doing a denture reline for you. Relining your denture seals off gaps between your denture and the fitting surface on which it rests, restoring the fit, stability, and comfort you had when it was new. A reline of the top denture also improves suction. Cracked or broken dentures are more likely to result if your dentures are loose, because of the uneven pressure when eating and chewing.

What about a denture repair dentist?

When you take your denture to a dentist for repair, they will send it to a dental laboratory like Northern Rivers Denture Clinic, since dentists rarely have on-site laboratories. This is a more time consuming and less cost effective way to get your denture repaired.
