Dentures are a practical, effective way to replace some or all of your teeth, and today’s dentures are more realistic and functional than ever before. Instead of covering your mouth when you talk and avoiding your favourite foods, dentures make it possible to eat what you want and smile with confidence.
But what if you break your dentures? Can an emergency dentist fix them?
Emergency Dentistry in Dunedin
At Bell Hill Dental, we offer emergency dental services to existing patients, tourists and new patients. One of our emergency services includes minor denture repair.
So, if you break your top or bottom denture, here’s what we recommend:
- Gather the pieces and bring them with you to your appointment.
- Rinse your denture in warm water and place it in a plastic case.
- Contact our dental clinic for an emergency appointment.
- Avoid using any household glues or adhesives.
- If you can still wear your denture, use dental wax to cover any sharp edges.
