Emergency Denture Repair: What to Do When Your Denture Snaps
DO NOT Use Store-Bought Superglue or DIY Adhesive
Cyanoacrylate glues contain toxic chemicals unsuitable for oral tissues. Furthermore, superglue creates an irregular layer that ruins the precision alignment required for laboratory cold-cure or heat-cure acrylic repair.
Store Broken Pieces Safely in Clean Water
Collect all broken acrylic pieces and detached teeth. Keep them moist in a clean container and contact your dental prosthetics clinic immediately.
Professional Laboratory Dental Repair
In a dedicated prosthetic lab, broken edges are re-indexed, beveled, and bonded with high-grade dental acrylic under heat and pressure for maximum strength.
