Our Dentist Offers Denture Repairs at Vero Dental Spa
Dentures restore your tooth loss, making it possible to chew, speak, and maintain a beautiful smile. At the same time, dentures need to be replaced every five to seven years. Even with routine trips to the dentist, they can become damaged over time, requiring a denture repair or reline.
In situations where your dentures are broken, it might be tempting to try over-the-counter denture repair kits. However, these can often cause more harm than good to your dentures. The best way to restore and preserve their function is by visiting the emergency dentists at Vero Dental Spa.
If you’re looking for emergency repair, contact our Vero Beach dentist today at (772) 778-5550. With same-day denture repairs, we can get your restoration back in order.
Why Emergency Denture Repair Matters
Dentures are a crucial part of many individuals’ daily lives, assisting with eating, speaking, and maintaining a natural appearance. When dentures become damaged or broken, it can lead to discomfort, difficulty functioning, and a loss of self-confidence. Emergency denture repairs ensure you can resume your normal activities without prolonged interruptions.
Common Denture Issues Requiring Immediate Attention
Common denture issues include:
- Cracked or broken dentures: Accidents or wear and tear can cause cracks or breaks, which may worsen without timely repairs.
- Loose-fitting dentures: Over time, dentures can lose their snug fit due to changes in the shape of your gums.
- Missing teeth from the denture: Teeth can detach from the denture base, requiring prompt attention to maintain functionality.
- Chipped dentures: Even small chips can impact comfort and aesthetics.
When Do Dentures Need Emergency Repair?
As your mouth structure changes, your dentures must always fit properly against your gums. Poor-fitting dentures can damage your jawbone and gum tissue. You should contact our Vero Beach dental office for an emergency repair as soon as you realize any of the following symptoms:
- Dentures feel loose-fitting
- You notice your dentures have become cracked or broken
- Your dentures feel uncomfortable
- You’re having trouble chewing
Contact Vero Dental Spa at (772) 778-5550 for dental emergencies.
Emergency Denture Repair Services at Vero Dental Spa
Same-Day Service
Time is of the essence during a denture emergency. We prioritize same-day repair services to minimize inconvenience and get you back to your routine quickly.
Professional Evaluation
Our experienced dental team will assess the damage to determine the best course of action. Whether it’s a minor adjustment or a significant repair for damaged dentures, we’ll provide expert recommendations tailored to your needs.
Denture Reline
Over time, the area of the denture that fits over the soft tissues will often need to be resurfaced. When dentures become too loose-fitting for your gums, it’s usually because your gums have shrunk, and there are gaps between the denture and your mouth tissue. With a denture reline, our emergency dentist will tighten the area between your dentures and gums so you can bite, chew, talk, and smile without worrying about your dentures slipping or causing irritation.
Denture Rebase
Similar to a denture reline, a denture rebase fixes the hard pink surface area of the dentures that encounters gum tissue. However, a denture rebase fixes the strength of your dentures if they have become loose or cracked. During this service, the only part of the denture that’s not replaced is the false teeth.
Fixing Sore Spots
As we mentioned earlier, dentures become uncomfortable due to changes in your jawbone and mouth alignment over time. As it rubs against your mouth, this can create sore spots on the soft tissue of your mouth. We reduce the rubbing caused by your dentures by adjusting them with a softer material. This denture repair is similar to a denture reline.
Before repairing your dentures, we will need to take an impression of your mouth to properly update them. After we repair your dentures, it’s important to continue taking care of your dentures by cleaning and deodorizing them regularly.
Customized Solutions
No two denture emergencies are alike. We offer personalized solutions to ensure your repaired dentures fit seamlessly, meet your expectations, and avoid further damage.
How to Handle a Denture Emergency
While it’s always best to visit a professional for denture repairs, there are a few steps you can take in the meantime to prevent further damage:
- Avoid using damaged dentures: Continuing to use broken dentures can worsen the problem and cause discomfort.
- Keep all broken pieces: If your dentures break, save any pieces that come off and bring them with you to your appointment.
- Contact Vero Dental Spa immediately: Call us as soon as possible to schedule an emergency repair appointment.
