Emergency Denture Repairs & Walk-ins

If your full or partial dentures are damaged and difficult to wear, it’s important to have them professionally repaired as soon as possible. The Denture Care Group Sunshine Coast is proud to offer emergency after-hours repairs for those annoying accidents that happen outside of business hours. We value your time and understand the inconvenience of being without your dentures, which is why we also offer walk-in appointments, and many repairs will be attended to while you wait. These include:

Clean breaks
Simple fractures
General cracks
Some instances of tooth loss

If your dentures can’t be fixed on the spot, we aim to have them returned to you later that same day or the following day. No matter the issue, please don’t hesitate to visit us for a repair or reline—we provide quality, lasting fixes for our patients using TGA approved materials.

Preventing Denture Damage

While dentures usually need to be replaced every eight to ten years and relined once every three to five years, there are many things you can do to ensure they stay in good condition and fit comfortably over their lifespan. At The Denture Care Group Sunshine Coast, we recommend that you:

Handle your dentures with care—avoid dropping them or putting too much pressure on them
Be careful when using toothpaste or other cleaners—some of these products can be too abrasive & cause damage to your dentures
Avoid using hot water to clean your dentures—this can cause the appliance to warp
Store your dentures in a safe place—safeguard against damage when you’re not wearing them
See your dentist regularly—schedule checkups & denture cleans

Make an appointment with our prosthetists as soon as you notice damage or if your denture has become loose. We’ll assess the issue and advise the best solution. For denture repairs of all kinds, make us your first call.

Can I Repair My Own Dentures?

Even dentures of the highest quality will degrade over time and can be prone to breakage. You can take great care of your teeth and still need a repair at some point. But no matter the type of damage, never attempt any denture repairs yourself. Dentures can’t be fixed or reconstructed using superglue, wire or other household items—you’ll risk worsening the existing damage and detrimentally impacting your oral health.

Poor repairs are likely to make your appliance unusable and cost you more in the long run when buying a replacement. Don’t worry, our prosthetists can provide all the help you need. We have a warranty against breaks for your peace of mind and the full or part cost can be covered by most health funds.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can my denture be adjusted or repaired?

If you crack or damage your denture, it is more than likely that we can repair it within one day (depending on the scope of damage). It is extremely important that you contact us immediately for any repair and that you do not under any circumstances attempt to make a repair yourself. You should never attempt to glue or reconstruct your denture.
How do I take care of my dentures?

We recommend that you always clean your dentures over a towel or soft surface in case you drop them (to prevent breakage). Always brush the denture to remove any food debris, ensuring that you clean all surfaces, using our recommended denture cleaners to remove any stains and kill bacteria and brush the dentures again as you would your own teeth to leave the dentures entirely clean and fresh.
Will my dentures need to be replaced?

Dentures generally should be relined every two years and replaced every eight to ten years.
You should have your dentures checked every six months as part of your routine dental check-up and cleaning. It is also important to have your dentures checked if you experience any changes in the fit or function of your appliance. These can be signs that your dentures need to be relined, repaired or replaced.
How much do dentures cost?

There is unfortunately not a simple answer; however, we offer a free initial consultation. During this appointment our prosthetist will assess your needs, offer any senior discounts, consider health fund rebates and discuss payment plans with you. Our initial consultation is also obligation-free.
