What Are Denture Repairs?
At Saks Dental Studio Allen
, we provide efficient and convenient denture repair services to address any problems you may have with your prosthetic appliance. Dentures are valuable devices that can enhance your appearance and greatly improve your ability to speak, eat, and chew. While dentures usually last up to ten years, it is not uncommon for repairs to be needed during this time. If your denture has cracked, broken, or missing teeth, our team of Allen dentists can quickly and easily handle all of these repairs for you.
Why Would You Need Denture Repairs?
One of the most frequent issues individuals encounter with their dentures is the cracking or breaking of the plate. This can occur when a pet or child damages the denture, or when it wears down due to bruxism and other factors. Additionally, some individuals may experience the teeth on their denture falling off, necessitating replacement.
Who Is A Candidate For Denture Repairs?
If your denture is showing signs of wear or damage, it is recommended to have it repaired. The repairs can be done either in-house or by sending it to a lab for assessment and potential fixing. However, if your denture is significantly old and requires replacement, it may be suggested to get a new one instead of repairing the existing one. The lifespan of dentures typically ranges from five to seven years, depending on the extent of wear caused by the patient.
What Can Be Expected During Denture Repairs?
To begin the process, we kindly ask you to come to our office, where we will provide you with a designated room. Our dedicated doctors will examine your denture to determine if it can be repaired. If the denture is significantly old, we may suggest replacing it instead of repairing it. In some cases, we may need to send the denture to a local lab for fixing. Please be assured that we will discuss all available options with you before taking any action regarding your denture.
If you need to repair your current denture, please contact us and schedule a visit to our Allen office. We are excited to help you start this process.
