Cracked Acrylic Denture: Assessment Before Repair
- Do not glue the denture at home: glue can make it harder to repair.
- Bring all fragments, even small ones.
- The 2026–2027 price list has the item “Repair of an acrylic denture”.
An acrylic denture has broken. Do not glue it yourself — it makes repair harder. Collect all the parts and bring them to an examination where the cause and the possibility of repair will be assessed.
Which part of the denture is damaged
A crack, a broken-off piece, a tooth detached from the base — these are different situations. Describe what exactly happened and in what circumstances.
What to keep and bring to the examination
- All fragments of the denture.
- Any teeth that came off.
- The denture as it is, without glue.
- A short description of when and how it broke.
A list of what you bring helps the dentist assess what can be restored.
Why the cause of breakage is assessed together with fit
If the denture fits poorly or is overloaded, the breakage may recur. So the dentist assesses not only the crack but also the fit and the bite.
How the possibility of repair and the amount are agreed
In the price list “Repair of an acrylic denture” is a separate item (approximately 750 ₴ according to the list). The final amount and the possibility of repair are determined by the dentist: different breakages can differ in complexity. We do not promise a time-limited guarantee in advance.
If the denture is nylon, repair is assessed separately — it is a different material.
Completeness of the item brought in
- All fragments
- Teeth that came off, if any
- The denture without glue
- Description of the circumstances of the break
- Date the denture was made, if known
- Complaints about the fit
Check the list before the visit.
