Dropped and Broke Your Dentures? Here’s What to Do in San Juan Capistrano

San Juan Capistrano, CA

---

Accidents happen — one small slip over the sink or tile floor, and suddenly your dentures are cracked, chipped, or completely broken. If you’ve just dropped your dentures, don’t panic. In most cases, same-day denture repairs or replacements are possible, especially if you act quickly.

At Kaban Dental Group, we provide emergency denture repair in San Juan Capistrano for patients throughout Dana Point, San Clemente, and Aliso Viejo, helping you restore comfort and confidence fast.

Step 1 — Stop and Assess the Damage

Before trying any DIY fix, carefully examine your dentures under good light. Look for:

• Visible cracks in the acrylic base

• Chipped or missing teeth

• Loose clasps on partial dentures

• Pieces that no longer fit together cleanly

Avoid using super glue or over-the-counter adhesives — these can damage the material and make professional repair more difficult.

Step 2 — Collect All Broken Pieces

If the denture is cracked or split, carefully gather every fragment, including small chips or tooth pieces. Store them in a clean, sealed container or plastic bag. This helps your dentist evaluate whether a same-day denture repair is possible.

At Kaban Dental Group, we can often bond or reline dentures in a single visit — saving you from going days without teeth.

Step 3 — Call a Dentist Who Offers Same-Day Repairs

Time matters. The sooner you contact a local dentist who offers denture repair, the better your chances of avoiding a full remake.

We offer same-day appointments for broken or dropped dentures. Our lab and network partners can often:

• Reattach broken sections

• Replace missing teeth

• Smooth sharp edges

• Re-fit the denture for comfort

• Store them in a protective case when not wearing them.

• Avoid using hot water or harsh cleaners that weaken acrylic.

• Schedule regular checkups to monitor fit and wear.
