Repairing Your Dentures

EMERGENCY DENTURE SERVICES AFTER-HOURS

At Smiles on Hudson, we offer emergency denture repair services seven days a week (including after-hours). We cater to clients in Hamilton, as well as the wider Newcastle, Lake Macquarie and Port Stephens regions.

Dentures can be damaged, fractured or broken by accident or from general wear. Fortunately, in most cases, they can be easily replaced or repaired through emergency denture care.

Instead of suffering without teeth or wearing damaged dentures that cause oral trauma and accentuated denture damage, get in touch with Smiles on Hudson for emergency denture repair service (after-hours) and on weekends.

Not having a set of teeth impedes oral functions and gives the face a sunken appearance. Replacing or repairing dentures rapidly will help restore your beautiful smile. To book a service, don’t hesitate to contact us on 0432 194 603.

Emergency dentures repairs are available Monday to Friday (including after-hours) and on Saturday and Sunday.

When To Seek Out Emergency Denture Repairs

While most denture problems can wait until your next scheduled appointment, there are some situations where you should seek out emergency denture repairs. At our Newcastle clinic, we accept a range of emergency denture repairs, including:

CHIPS OR CRACKS

Whether you wear full or partial dentures, accidents can happen, especially if you’re eating crunchy foods or biting on something hard. If you have a broken or chipped tooth in your denture, it’s important to seek out professional help as soon as possible.

Delay can lead to further damage and even discomfort, so the sooner you get the problem fixed, the better. In addition, if you have a loose denture, don’t try to fix it yourself. This can make it more difficult for the dentist to make the necessary repairs, requiring a complete replacement.

Damage To The Denture's Metal Clasp

A broken metal clasp is considered an emergency for several reasons. First, the clasp is what helps to keep the denture in place.

Without it, the denture may not fit as snugly and could potentially fall out. Second, the clasp is also what helps to hold the teeth in place. If the clasp is broken, the teeth could become loose and fall out.

Finally, a broken clasp can also be quite painful. The sharp edges of the metal can cut into the gums and mouth, causing bleeding and discomfort. For all these reasons, it’s important to seek dental care as soon as possible if you have a broken metal clasp.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I maintain good oral hygiene?

Keeping your mouth clean is just as important as ever when you wear dentures. You should brush your remaining teeth, gums and tongue every morning and evening to prevent tooth decay, gum disease and other dental problems.
Do you offer same-day relining?

If your current dentures are causing you discomfort, getting in touch with our team is the ideal place to start. We can book you in as soon as possible for same-day relining service, allowing you to leave our clinic with a better fit and higher level of comfort.
Am I a suitable candidate for hard relining?

Hard relining is a permanent solution to the shaping of the denture base. This harder substance is typically the same hard-wearing material as the denture base. If your mouth is healthy or you’ve had no problems with hard denture lining in the past, this option may be suitable for you.
When is soft relining the better choice?

Soft relines are created from flexible, soft silicone that needs to be reapplied each year. If you’ve struggled with hard relines or your dentist has determined that your mouth is sensitive to harder materials, this soft silicone may be a better fit. Speaking to our specialists will give you a better idea of the right choice.

Issues With The Denture Base

A cracked or broken denture base is more than just a cosmetic issue. If left unaddressed, it can lead to a number of serious problems, including infection, pain and difficulty eating.

In some cases, a broken denture base can even cause injuries to the soft tissue of the mouth. For all of these reasons, it is important to treat a broken denture base as an emergency.

If you’re ever unsure whether or not you need emergency denture repairs, it’s always best to err on the side of caution and consult with your dentist. By taking care of your dentures, you can help ensure that they last for years to come.

Why Dentures Count As A Dental Emergency

When dentures rub and cause discomfort, this is generally an indication they no longer fit properly. This can be the result of weight loss or gain, ageing, or other changes in the mouth. While it may not seem like a serious issue, it can actually lead to a number of problems if left untreated.

For example, rubbing can cause sores and ulcers to form on the gums, which can become infected. In addition, ill-fitting dentures can make it difficult to eat and speak properly.

As a result, it is important to seek dental care as soon as possible when experiencing discomfort from dentures. With proper fitting, dentures can provide many years of comfortable wear.
