Denture Repairs in Denver & Colorado Springs
Denture Relining at Mile High
Denture relining is a dental procedure that improves the fit of removable dentures. The process involves adding new material to the denture base, adapting it to the current shape of the gums.
Mile High Dental & Implant Centers can refit or reline a denture to compensate for natural changes in the oral tissue like bone loss and tissue shrinkage. Often, Denver and Colorado Springs patients will notice a need for relining when their dentures become loose while eating. A lot of the time breakage and soreness are indications for the need of relining. We only perform top-quality full dentures and partial denture relines. We can often do same-day denture relines.
Can Dentures Be Repaired?
Yes! Most denture repair services can successfully fix cracks, fractures, and missing teeth. However, the extent of the damage determines whether a repair is possible or a replacement is necessary.
Types of denture repairs we offer:
- Crack or fracture repair – We professionally bond and strengthen cracked dentures to prevent further damage.
- Denture tooth replacement – If a tooth falls out, we can replace it with a secure, natural-looking alternative.
- Denture relining and rebasing – We can adjust the base for a better fit if your dentures are loose or uncomfortable.
- Complete denture restoration – We offer full restoration services for heavily damaged dentures.
If you’re searching for same-day denture repair or walk-in denture repair near you, we’re here to help! Additionally, if you’re experiencing a loose fit, refer to our guide on how to clean and whiten your dentures to ensure proper care and the longevity of your denture appliances.
How to Repair Broken Dentures in Denver
Broken dentures can be a hassle, but fixing them doesn’t have to be. In Denver, many dental clinics offer same-day denture repairs for your convenience to ensure you won’t be without them for long. Here’s what the denture repair process typically looks like:
- Examining the Damage: First, the dentist will examine your dentures closely to see what’s wrong. Issues like small cracks or loose teeth can often be fixed the same day, while a fractured base or multiple missing teeth might take a little longer.
- Cleaning and Prepping: Before any work begins, your dentures will be thoroughly cleaned to remove debris or bacteria. This helps ensure a strong, lasting repair.
- Repairing the Dentures: For minor cracks, a special dental acrylic is used to seal the break and reinforce the structure. If a tooth has fallen out, it can be reattached or replaced with one that matches your denture. If the base is damaged, it may need extra support to maintain strength and fit.
- Curing and Polishing: Once the repair is complete, the dentures are placed in a curing machine to harden and strengthen the material. After that, they’re polished for a smooth, comfortable feel that looks and functions like new.
- Final Check and Adjustments: Before you leave, the dentist will ensure your dentures fit properly and feel comfortable. They’ll make small adjustments to prevent irritation or pressure points if anything feels off

How Long Does It Take to Repair Damaged Dentures?
The time required for denture repair depends on the extent of the damage and whether the repair can be done in-house or requires an external lab. Many minor denture repairs can be completed the same day, while more complex fixes may take longer. Here are the estimated denture repair times:
- Minor repairs (small cracks, chips, or loose teeth): A few hours to one day.
- Moderate repairs (fractured base, multiple missing teeth): One to two days.
- Major repairs (full denture rebasing, extensive damage): Three days to a week.
Factors like denture material type, lab processing time, and the availability of same-day services can also impact how quickly your dentures can be restored.
Frequently Asked Questions About Broken Dentures
Dentures are designed to be durable, but they can still break or wear down over time. Here are the most common causes of denture damage:
- Dropping your dentures on a hard surface can cause cracks or fractures.
- Chewing on hard foods like nuts, ice, or hard candies can stress the material.
- Natural wear and tear weaken the denture over time, leading to cracks or loose teeth.
- Hot water exposure can cause warping, making the dentures lose their proper fit.
- Changes in your gums and jawbone can stress the denture, leading to fractures.
Regular denture adjustments and repairs help extend the life of your dentures and ensure they continue to fit properly. If you experience discomfort, it may be time to visit a professional for an adjustment or repair.
A denture repair kit can temporarily fix minor cracks or loose teeth, but it is not a permanent solution. These kits contain special adhesives that can hold the denture together for a short period but do not offer the durability and precision of professional denture repairs.
If you need a fast denture fix, a denture repair kit is a great temporary solution; however, to repair dentures properly, we strongly recommend seeing a professional as soon as possible.
If your denture breaks, follow these steps to prevent further damage:
- Do not wear the broken denture.
- Keep the denture in water or a protective case to prevent drying out.
- Avoid using household glue.
- Use a denture repair kit as a temporary denture solution.
- Please contact a professional for denture repair. Search for “denture repair near me” and schedule an appointment as soon as possible.
In urgent cases, consider emergency denture repair services to get you back to normal quickly.
Yes, a broken tooth on a denture can often be fixed. Dentures are made of durable materials, and professional repair services can expertly repair or replace the damaged tooth to ensure your dentures continue to function correctly.
Over-the-counter household glues or adhesives are not good choices as they may contain harmful substances and lack the precision required for denture repair. Denture-specific adhesives and repair kits are thoughtfully crafted to bond dental prosthetics securely and effectively, guaranteeing a safe and dependable repair under the guidance of our dental experts.
