Can dentures be repaired the same day?

Yes — many dentures can be repaired the same day, and in some cases within just a few hours.

The ability to complete a same-day repair depends on the type of damage, whether all parts are available, and whether the repair can be completed without additional impressions.

When same-day repair is possible

Same-day repairs are typically possible when:

• The denture has a clean break

• All pieces are present

• There is no distortion in the fit

These types of repairs can often be completed quickly without the need for impressions.

Typical timeframes

While every case is different, many repairs can be completed:

• Within a few hours

• During a single visit

• On the same day

This avoids being without your denture for extended periods.

When repairs take longer

Some cases require additional steps, such as impressions.

This is more likely when:

• A tooth has broken off and is missing

• A clasp has broken

• The denture has multiple fractures

• The denture has been glued and no longer fits correctly

Even in these cases, repairs are often still completed much faster than traditional lab-based processes.

Why traditional repairs can take days

Many clinics send dentures to external laboratories, which can result in:

• Delays of several days

• Multiple appointments

• Time without your denture

Faster option: on-site denture repairs

Some providers offer repairs using an on-site laboratory, allowing the work to be completed during the visit.

This removes the need to send dentures away and allows for much faster turnaround.

How much does same-day denture repair cost?

The cost of denture repair depends on the type of damage.

As a general guide:

• Simple repairs (no impression required): $350

• More complex repairs (impression required): from $450

A full assessment is required to confirm the exact cost, as more complex cases may require additional work.
