Two Denture Repair Services Sunshine Coast
There are two types of denture repairs available at All Smiles Denture Clinic:
1. While You Wait Denture Repairs
For simple and straightforward denture repairs, our denture clinic tries to complete the denture repairs as quickly as possible.
Depending on the type of denture repair needed, and the time required, the All Smiles Denture Clinic team may be able to fix your broken denture while you wait in our reception area.
2. Same Day Denture Repairs
For the more complicated denture repairs, our team may need a little more time to repair your denture. We don’t always know how long it will take until we see the extent of the broken denture.
The All Smiles Denture Clinic team can provide same day denture repairs. Simply schedule an appointment in the morning, and return later that same day to collect your repaired teeth.

Denture Repair Frequently Asked Questions

Can You Repair & Fix my Chrome Metal Partial Denture?
Yes!
Note: All Smiles Denture Clinic has an in-house laboratory and laser welding machine that can be used for metal denture repairs and additions.
Not all Denture Clinics have the equipment, machines & technology to repair metal dentures… but we do!
Can you repair flexible dentures?
It really depends on what’s broken! Remember that the base has a low chance of breaking because they’re flexible and are made of a material that can absorb shock
My denture has a crack in it, what should I do?
Don’t ignore the crack.
Your mouth and your denture changes over time.
Dentures often show signs of wear and tear after many years of wearing them. Sometimes when your denture wears down or your mouth changes, you might find that your denture no longer fits like it used to. (This is one of the reasons why we recommend regular relines every 2 years or so).
Sometimes the denture is too thin and prone to cracking.
The sooner you get your denture repaired the better and often less expensive!
Can I Use Superglue to Fix My Broken Denture?
No.
Please don't try to fix your denture yourself with super glue.
Superglue is toxic.
This can actually make it more difficult to repair and may be the reason why a new denture needs to be made.
I’ve broken my denture, what should I do?
If you break or fracture your denture, find all the pieces! This is really important and can make your repair quicker and cheaper. Simply pop all the pieces you can find in a seal lock bag, and then call the All Smiles Denture Clinic to schedule a denture repair appointment.
Can I eat with my dentures after it’s been repaired?
Yes!
There is no need to wait or to worry. There’s no reason to worry about it breaking again, most repairs have your denture back to normal strength.
Unless your dental prosthetist has warned you that it will break again. Sometimes when we repair dentures, we can tell by the ill fit that the denture might break in the same spot again. This is not always the case, but you should always listen to the advice given.
When we see this type of scenario, we advise to either try a reline or replace the dentures.
A smile is worth a thousand words. All Smiles Denture Clinic will do their best to make sure you don’t go a day without your dentures.
Other Common Repairs
In addition to repairing broken dentures, the team at All Smiles can also repair chipped dentures, replace broken teeth on a denture, and add teeth to an existing denture. All of these repairs can be completed quickly and efficiently, leaving you with a fully functional denture.
