Broken Denture Emergency: Quick Repairs in South OC

San Juan Capistrano, CA


For many patients, dentures aren’t just a dental device—they’re essential for speaking, eating, and smiling with confidence. So when a denture breaks unexpectedly, it can feel like a true emergency. At Kaban Dental Group in San Juan Capistrano, we often receive urgent calls from patients across Dana Point, Mission Viejo, Aliso Viejo, and San Clemente who need same-day solutions.

Here’s what to do if your dentures break, and how we can help with fast repairs in South Orange County.


Common Causes of Broken Dentures

  • Dropping dentures on hard surfaces

  • Normal wear and tear over years of use

  • Chewing on very hard foods

  • Ill-fitting dentures causing stress points

  • Accidental damage during cleaning

What to Do Immediately

  • Do not try to superglue your dentures. Household adhesives are toxic and can damage the acrylic.

  • Gather all the broken pieces and store them in a safe, clean container.

  • Call your dentist right away—quick repairs are often possible the same day.

  • Keep a backup denture or partial (if you have one) for emergencies.

Same-Day Repair Options in South OC

At Kaban Dental Group, we can often provide:

  1. Acrylic Denture Repair – rebonding or patching fractured areas

  2. Tooth Replacement – if a single tooth breaks off the denture base

  3. Relining or Adjusting Fit – if your denture fracture is due to poor fit

  4. New Denture Fabrication – when repairs aren’t possible, we’ll help with a replacement plan

When a Broken Denture Is an Emergency

You may need urgent same-day care if:

  • Your denture fracture prevents you from eating or speaking

  • Sharp edges are cutting into your gums

  • You only have one set and cannot go without it

  • Your denture breaks right before a major event (work, travel, social gathering)

Preventing Future Breaks

  • Handle dentures over a soft surface or towel when cleaning

  • Avoid chewing ice or very hard foods

  • Get dentures checked regularly for fit and wear

  • Consider implant-retained dentures for greater stability
