Lab Repair Guidelines

We can often help with walk-in denture repairs. Some fixes are simple, while others require a dentist’s visit. Please review below so you know what to expect.

✅ Repairs We Can Usually Do Alone

  • Snapped edges/flanges that still fit together

  • A few broken teeth (up to 3)

  • A simple crack down the middle (if you haven’t tried gluing it yourself)

  • Adding a strengthening wire or mesh (if the denture pieces fit back neatly)

⚠️ Sometimes Possible at the Lab – Needs a Look First

  • Cracks or breaks that you’ve already glued together

  • Back teeth that affect your bite

🚧 Repairs With a Risk of Failure

(We’ll warn you if the repair may not last long.)

  • Several broken or shattered teeth

  • Dentures broken into many pieces

  • Old repairs that no longer hold together

  • Broken nightguards

  • Adjustments for sore spots or rubbing

❌ Requires a Dentist Appointment

(Some repairs can’t be done safely without your dentist.)

  • Relines (tightening the fit)

  • Flexible partial repairs

  • Adding wires or flanges to metal dentures

  • Repairs needing an impression of your bite

  • If you have allergies to dental materials

  • Very old or badly worn dentures

  • Dentures chewed by pets

  • Fixing sore spots
