Dentures can occasionally break, crack, or lose a tooth due to normal wear, accidental drops, or biting forces. When this happens, professional denture repair is important to restore function and prevent further damage.
At Rockville Dental Arts, we provide denture repair services for patients throughout Rockville and Montgomery County. Our team evaluates damaged dentures and determines whether they can be repaired or need replacement.

What to Do if Your Denture Breaks
If your denture becomes damaged, it is important to avoid trying to repair it yourself.
Temporary repair kits may cause further damage or affect the fit of the denture.
Instead:
-
Remove the denture from use if it causes discomfort
-
Store the denture safely
-
Contact a dentist for professional evaluation
Our team can determine whether repair or replacement is the best option.
When Denture Replacement May Be Recommended
In some cases, dentures cannot be repaired effectively.
Replacement may be necessary if:
• the denture is severely fractured
• the denture has become worn over time
• the denture no longer fits properly due to bone changes
Patients experiencing frequent denture problems may also consider implant-supported dentures for improved stability.
Learn more about snap-in dentures and other implant-supported options.
Alternatives to Traditional Dentures
Some patients choose to replace traditional dentures with implant-supported solutions that provide greater stability.
These options include:
• snap-in dentures
• implant-retained dentures
• full-arch implants
For patients seeking a permanent solution, All-on-4 dental implants may restore a full arch of teeth supported by implants.
