Can Dental Labs Repair Broken Dentures?
Yes, dental labs can repair broken dentures, restoring them to their original functionality and appearance. At Sho Dental Laboratory, we specialize in repairing all types of dentures with precision and care.
Assessing and Preparing for Denture Repair
When dentures become broken or damaged, it’s crucial to act quickly to prevent further damage and maintain oral comfort. The first step in denture repair is for the dentist to assess the extent of the damage. They will take impressions of the patient's mouth to ensure that the repaired dentures will fit comfortably.
Once the assessment is complete, the dentist sends the dentures to a dental lab, like Sho Dental Laboratory, for the repair process. At our lab, our skilled technicians carefully examine the dentures to determine the best method of repair, whether it involves re-aligning, adding new materials, or replacing specific components. This thorough evaluation helps us ensure that the dentures will function like new once the repair is complete.
Repair Techniques and Final Fitting
The actual repair process involves several techniques depending on the type and severity of the damage. For minor fractures, the broken parts are cleaned, reattached, and reinforced to restore stability. In more complex cases, our technicians may need to replace damaged parts or even re-make sections of the denture.
At Sho Dental Laboratory, we use high-quality, durable materials that match the original denture's look and feel. Once the repairs are made, the dentures are returned to the dentist for a final fitting. The dentist will ensure that the repaired dentures fit well and that the patient can eat, speak, and smile comfortably once again. With our expert repair services, we help patients regain confidence and restore the functionality of their dentures.
