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.
