Same Day Denture Repairs | Sunshine Coast Denture Clinic
At All Smiles Denture Clinic we offer affordable “While You Wait” , same day emergency denture repairs.
Darius and the team know how stressful a broken or damaged denture can be. It can effect your eating, appearance all the while causing you pain and discomfort.
There are generally two types of denture repairs:
1. While You Wait Denture Repairs - Standard Denture Repair
You come for an appointment in the morning, and depending on the type of repair needed, we can fix your broken denture while you wait in our reception area.
2. Same Day Denture Repairs - Complex Denture Repair
You come for an appointment in the morning, and return later that same day and collect your repaired teeth.
How Much Do Denture Repairs Cost?
Prices For Denture Repairs Start At $120.00
Because no two dentures are the same, and no two dentures break the same, it’s almost impossible to give you a price. Once one of our qualified dental team have had an opportunity to see your broken denture, we can then work out how much time and material is required to fix your denture.
Can I Use Super Glue to Fix My Denture?
The short answer is NO!
Please don’t try to fix your denture at home with super glue. You might think you are doing the right thing, but often dentures that have been brought in that have been glued in the wrong spot, make it difficult to repair.
Super glue contains chemicals that might be toxic and should not be ingested or in your mouth at all.
Super Glue Makes Denture Repairs Worse
According to Darius Northey, Dental Prosthetist with 30 years making dentures, people often make their denture worse and it costs more to repair.
People think it’s harmless to pop some super glue on their denture and keep it together. But this is just not true, in fact, it really does make it worse. Removing the super glue can be difficult and might even cost you a whole new denture.
Think twice before you attempt to fix your denture at home!!
