Repairs
- Snapped denture repairBroken into two or three pieces? Bring every piece in and we join it back together in our lab behind reception, usually while you wait.
- Cracked denture repairA crack is the warning before a snap. We strengthen it now, while it is still in one piece, usually while you wait.
- Broken denture tooth repairA tooth chipped, cracked or came off completely? We bond it back on, or fit a matching new one, usually while you wait.
- Add a tooth to your dentureLost a natural tooth? We can often add a new one to the partial denture you already wear, so you do not need a whole new denture.
- Denture reline for a loose dentureYour gums change shape over the years, so a denture that once fitted can start to slip or rub. A reline reshapes the inside so it fits snugly again.
