Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. Can a cracked or broken denture be repaired?
Most cracks, chips, and broken teeth on a denture can be fixed without building a whole new set. A clean break through the base usually comes back from the lab within a day or two looking the way it did before. Skip the superglue. It leaves a rough bond line that irritates your gums and makes a proper lab repair harder later, so bring the pieces in as they are. If the denture keeps cracking in the same spot or the base is warped from years of use, a repair won’t hold and a new set is the smarter move. Dr. Shumway’s office on Avenue B in Billings can usually tell you same day whether a fix will last or whether it’s time to start fresh.
2. How do I know when my dentures need a reline?
Loose spots, rocking when you chew, and sore patches that keep showing up in the same place are the biggest hints. Your gum tissue and the bone underneath it shrink gradually after teeth are removed, and that slow shift is what pulls the denture away from the ridge over time. The fit doesn’t fail all at once. A reline adds a fresh layer of material to the inside of the base so it hugs the new contour of your gums again, and the procedure itself usually means dropping the denture off in the morning and picking it up that same afternoon. Dr. Shumway generally recommends a reline every year or two at our Billings office on Avenue B, though people who grind or clench tend to need them sooner.
