A cracked or broken denture makes eating harder, and talking or smiling can feel awkward too. You may have tried holding it together with extra adhesive or a glue from the shops. For denture repairs in Bannockburn VIC, call us first so we know what has broken and can work out the next step with you, without a drive to Geelong. Repairs are one part of our wider denture service in Bannockburn, alongside relines and new dentures.
When You Need Denture Repairs
Common reasons a denture needs repairing include:
- a crack or break through the base, often after the denture is dropped;
- a tooth that has come loose or fallen off the denture;
- a broken clasp or wire on a partial denture;
- a chipped or rough edge that rubs your gum or cheek.
A denture can also crack because it no longer fits well, since gums slowly change shape over time. If your denture is broken, rubbing or making your mouth sore, it's a good idea to have it checked soon. Call and we'll find the earliest suitable time.
A repair suits a denture that is otherwise in good shape. It can't fix a poor fit, and a denture that has been repaired before can break again. If the fit is the real problem, ask about when a reline suits better than a repair.
What to Do If Your Denture Breaks
- Keep every broken piece, including any teeth that have come off, in a clean container.
- Don't use superglue or a home repair kit. Glue can damage the denture, make a proper repair harder, and may not be safe in your mouth.
- If a sharp or broken edge cuts or rubs your mouth, leave the denture out until it has been checked.
Denture adhesive can help a loose denture for a while, but it won't hold a broken one together. For everyday care, healthdirect has plain advice on cleaning and looking after dentures.
Our Denture Repairs Process
- Call ahead. Tell us what has broken and when it happened. We'll plan a time with you. If you send an enquiry online, we aim to call back within business hours.
- Bring everything. Bring the denture and every broken piece, even small ones.
- Check. A dentist looks at the denture and checks your gums for sore spots.
- Options and fees. We explain whether a repair makes sense and what it costs before any work starts.
- Repair. The denture is repaired.
- Fit check. We check how the repaired denture sits and adjust it if it rubs. A repaired denture can feel a little different at first.
Timing depends on what has broken and how it needs to be repaired, and we'll talk you through it when you call. Some repairs may be done on the same day, depending on the damage.

How long does a denture repair take at your Bannockburn clinic?

Call before you come in, so we can plan the repair time with you and tell you what to expect. Bring the denture and every broken piece with you.

My denture broke and my mouth is sore. Can I be seen soon in Bannockburn?
Call us during opening hours and we'll find the earliest suitable time. We fit emergency patients in between booked appointments wherever we can. If a broken edge is cutting your mouth, leave the denture out until it has been checked. We're open in Bannockburn on weekdays and Saturday mornings: see our Saturday hours and High Street address.
Should I repair my old denture or get a new one?
It depends on the age, fit and condition of your denture. A repair usually makes sense when the denture still fits well and the damage is limited, but if it is worn, loose or has broken several times, a new denture may suit you better. A dentist can check it and explain both options and their costs. Compare what a new full denture involves.
Can a partial denture be repaired in Bannockburn?
Often, yes. A partial denture can usually be repaired when the base cracks or a tooth comes off, but whether a broken clasp or metal part can be fixed depends on the type of denture and the damage. We check it first in Bannockburn and explain your options and fees before any work starts. Learn how a partial denture sits around your own teeth.
