What To Do If Your Denture Breaks


A broken denture can be stressful, especially if you rely on it every day for eating and speaking. Knowing what to do straight away can help prevent further damage and make the repair process easier.


In most cases, dentures can be repaired, but taking the right steps early is important.

What Should You Do Immediately?

  • Stop using the denture immediately

  • Do not attempt to glue or repair it yourself

  • Keep all broken pieces together

  • Store the denture safely in a container

  • Contact a dental professional as soon as possible


    Even a small crack can worsen quickly if the denture continues to be worn.

    Should You Try to Fix It Yourself?


It is not recommended to attempt to repair a denture at home.


Using glue or DIY repair kits can affect the fit, weaken the structure, and make professional repair more difficult. In some cases, it can prevent the denture from being repaired at all.


If you have already attempted a repair, it is still worth having the denture assessed.

Can a Broken Denture Be Repaired?


Many dentures can be repaired, particularly if all pieces are available and the denture was fitting well before it broke.


Common repairs include:

  • Rejoining a clean break

  • Replacing broken or missing teeth

  • Repairing cracks or weak areas

  • Restoring parts of the denture that have broken away


In some cases, if the denture is very worn or no longer fits correctly, a reline or replacement may be recommended instead of a repair.
