A denture emergency can happen when you least expect it, and when it does, time counts. Whether you live in Perth, ON, Carleton Place, Kemptville, or anywhere between, knowing what to do in a crisis and having access to prompt, professional repair can make all the difference. Here’s how we respond when your dentures need urgent help, plus practical tips to protect your smile.
✅ What Qualifies as a Denture “Emergency”?
Some situations demand immediate attention. If you notice any of the following, treat it as an emergency:
- Cracks or fractures in the acrylic base
- Breakage—parts separated, pieces missing
- Chipped or detached teeth from your denture
- Sharp edges or burrs that irritate soft tissues
- Broken clasps (for partial dentures)
- Severe discomfort or fits that no longer seat properly
Wearing a damaged denture can lead to cuts, sores, speech issues, difficulty eating—and further damage.
🛠️ Quick Fixes & Our Emergency Repair Workflow
What We Can Do, Often Same Day
- Bonding hairline cracks with dental-grade acrylic
- Reattaching loose or missing teeth
- Smoothing sharp edges / polishing irritated surfaces
- Repairing broken clasps or retentive elements
- Making reinforcements to weak areas
- In-lab rebase or relining, when needed
Many denture labs offer 1-hour emergency repairs for cracked or fractured acrylic tasks.
Our Workflow (What You Can Expect)
- Bring in all broken pieces — the more complete the set, the better
- We assess damage type & complexity
- Perform cleaning, fit checks, and minor adjustments
- Bond, cure, polish, test fit
- You try it in the mouth; we fine-tune
- Advise you on wear, care, or when replacement might be safer
In many cases, we can have your dentures back to usable condition in the same day—especially for acrylic cracks or tooth detachment.
📞 Immediate Steps You Can Take
- Don’t use household glue or DIY kits—they may worsen the damage or make professional repair impossible
- Rinse all parts in clean water
- Place intact denture in a denture soaking solution or plain water to prevent warping
- Bring every broken fragment, even small shards
- Call us immediately so we can prepare staff and prioritize your repair

🚫 What We Cannot Repair on the Spot
- Severely shattered or heavily fractured bases requiring full remake
- Metal frameworks broken beyond repair

If a full remake is necessary, we’ll provide a temporary solution while fabricating your new set.
