Cracked Dentures

Are you considering a home denture repair?
Using a denture repair kit can be tricky business if you have a broken denture. Those who sell denture repair kits don't want you to know what happens if your repair does not work right. Denture Repair Kits should be purchased and used only for emergencies. If you are looking for a long-term solution, the repair kit is not the answer.

Material is the same as a Dentist would use :
The material we use to repair dentures is the same material that uses to make dentures. Our material is not a secret formula that is only for repairs. While it is possible to acquire all the materials, the repair we offer also comes with expert experience coupled with a process that makes sure the repair will last a long time.

Denture Repair Kit Material will form air bubbles:
It is important not to have air bubbles form inside the denture repair material as it hardens. Once air bubbles form inside the material as it hardens, the air bubbles will actually cause the denture repair to break over a short time. The material is actually weaker than it should be, but this is because there are air pockets that have formed inside the material when it hardened.

Can you get rid of the air bubbles ?
If you are ready to spend hundreds or thousands of dollars just to repair your denture, then you can. We have specialized equipment that removes all air bubbles as the denture repair kit material hardens. The equipment is expensive, but for us we can give you a long lasting denture repair to be cost effective.

Can you remove foreign substances on your denture ?
For our denture repair to last, we also make sure your denture repair area is free from any other materials except for your denture teeth and the denture acrylic. This is extremely important, as when our repair material hardens, it must bond with the denture acrylic. If it does not, the repair will eventually break over a short time.

Do you know how to align the pieces together ?
We know all about the shape of the mouth, since we make dentures daily. Or experts have years of experience and can align the broken pieces together quickly. If you are the type of person who likes to take their time to figure out how all the pieces fit together properly, then you possibly have the aptitude to repair your dentures. After mixing the material together, it is then applied to the broken pieces. The pieces have to fit exactly together, or you will notice your mistake when you start wearing your home denture repair. Your denture may or may not be wearable at this point.

Alignment is extremely important :
We are sure as a denture wearer that you have went to your dentist several times before your denture was okay to wear. This process is called alignment, where the dentist makes sure that your dentures will fit your mouth snugly and be comfortable to wear. The same goes with your home denture repair, after buying several denture repair kits, you will realize that just getting the material to repair you denture is only the beginning of a home denture repair experience. The pieces that you have fused back together, must fit exactly how they were before your denture broke.

Poorly fitting denture :
Sometimes we fail to recognize that our denture is not a model that when we are done using our denture repair kits material, we will put our home denture repair on the shelf to view for our pleasures. A denture is a working dental appliance that helps us eat foot and speak. If a denture does not fit properly, you mouth can become sore, get an infection, or not be wearable at all. Is this really worth the risk on a home denture repair, or would you rather have someone with experience repair your denture the right way, the first time.

Teeth come in different shapes, sizes, shades :
Those of who have already purchased a denture repair kit may have found that the tooth included in the repair kit does not match their denture. There are practically hundreds of different teeth in the market today consisting of different shapes, sizes, and shades.

What kind of teeth are in denture repair kits ?
A handful of teeth that are selected from just hand picking the most common that would break. It is almost impossible to say the teeth the denture repair kits come with are common.

What is the correct size ?
The correct size of tooth depends on your bite. If the tooth is too large, problem occur when you are eating. It will feel like there is a pebble in your mouth, where the rest of your teeth cannot chew the food.

A small tooth from a denture repair kit will just do the opposite, the rest of your teeth will grind the food, while the tooth that was replaced will fill with food particles and not work like the rest of your teeth in grinding food.

Why should I worry about the shade ?
Over time, your denture teeth turn darker because they are exposed to many elements that include coffee, tea, drinks, and different foods. There is no way to give you a direct answer on the correct shade of tooth you should use when using a denture repair kit. That is why we mean it when we say we carry hundreds of teeth that are in stock. We can match the shade that will blend in with the rest of your denture teeth.

What about the shape of the tooth?
The shape of the tooth depends on where it is located. Denture Repair Kits just do not come with all the teeth, as that would be impractical. Each set of teeth, whether you're front teeth used for chopping, your wisdom teeth used for tearing, or your molars used for grinding function as a food processing system. You just can't put a front tooth into the back of your mouth because it will not fit properly, and not work at all.

What about the denture repair kit glue ?
First, there is not denture glue that comes out of a tube like toothpaste to repair your denture. All denture materials come in a powder and a liquid of some sort to react with the powder.

I have used glue from the hardware store :
You really should have frequented your local dentist before using hardware glue that you can repair a ceramic dish with. Most glue is not made for your mouth, mainly because when they dry, overtime, the denture glue becomes brittle and eventually flakes off and into your stomach. As the glue flakes off, it also begins to loose its bonding power, and you will eventually end up with a broken denture with excess glue all over it.

Why are denture repair kits available ?
Denture Repair Kits are available because they are solely for emergency use only. The are not supposed to be used for a permanent repair. Every repair kit comes with some sort of labeling that urges you to seek a dentist as soon as possible.

Why is the denture repair kit glue smell so strong ?
We have heard our customers complain the gasses produced by the mixture are very strong. The denture repair kit glue should be mixed in an area where there is plenty of ventilation. Think of it if you were to mix baking soda and vinegar. It bubbles and produces a gas. Even though the mixture from the denture repair kit does not bubble, the gas emitting from the mixture is still poisonous. Please use a ventilated area when temporarily repairing your denture with a denture repair kit.

Why are you repair prices so high :
Occasionally, our customers ask us this question. Our prices are not high, but if you compared our prices to when you first bought your dentures, sure they will be higher than they were ten years ago. You can blame the high prices on inflation, of which you or we have no control over. Remember when you could get gas for 75 cents, now look at the prices, about three dollars a gallon.
