❓ What is a same day denture repair?

Same day denture repair refers to the quick restoration of broken, cracked, or ill-fitting dentures within a single day—often in just a few hours. These repairs are done in-house using specialised dental equipment and acrylic resins to fix minor to moderate damage.

🛠️ Can a cracked denture be repaired on the same day?

Yes, most minor to moderate cracks can be repaired on the same day. Dental technicians use bonding materials and relining techniques to restore the structural integrity of the denture. More complex breaks may still require a short turnaround but can often be completed within 24 hours.

🕒 How long do same day denture repairs take?

Repair times can vary based on the extent of the damage, but most same day denture repairs can be completed in 2–6 hours. At Star Dental Care, we aim for efficient turnaround without compromising quality.

👴 Is it common for dentures to break suddenly?

Yes. Dentures can break from accidental drops, general wear and tear, or sudden stress during eating. Even well-maintained dentures may develop cracks over time, especially if they’re more than five years old.

💸 How much does it cost to repair dentures on the same day?

Costs vary depending on the severity of the damage and the materials required. However, most same day repairs are affordable, ranging from $100 to $300. A quote is usually provided after a quick inspection.

🧪 What materials are used in denture repairs?

Acrylic resins are commonly used for repairs, often matching the existing shade and structure of the denture. If metal clasps or frameworks are damaged, specialised alloys or replacement parts may be required.

🔧 Can I glue my dentures at home while waiting for a repair?

No. DIY glues and adhesives can cause further damage, affect the fit, or introduce harmful chemicals into your mouth. Always seek professional dental repair to avoid worsening the issue.

🦷 What types of denture damage can be repaired in a day?

Common same day repairs include:

  • Cracks or fractures in the acrylic base

  • Broken or dislodged teeth

  • Minor relining for improved comfort

  • Small chips or cosmetic fixes

Major fractures or broken metal frameworks might need longer to repair or require replacement.

👨‍⚕️ Who performs same day denture repairs?

At Star Dental Care, qualified dental prosthetists and lab technicians work alongside dentists to assess, repair, and adjust dentures quickly and precisely. Their in-clinic lab allows real-time repairs without external delays.

👄 Will my dentures feel the same after a repair?

Most patients find their dentures feel as good—or even better—after a professional repair. Technicians not only fix the break but often improve the fit or comfort as part of the process.

🔄 Can same day denture repairs be done for partial dentures?

Yes. Both full and partial dentures can be repaired on the same day, depending on the extent of the damage. Metal clasps on partials may require a bit more time or special ordering if replacement parts are needed.

🚨 What should I do if my denture breaks suddenly?

Follow these steps:

  1. Do not attempt a DIY fix.

  2. Keep all the pieces safe.

  3. Rinse gently with warm water (no soap or bleach).

  4. Call your dentist immediately.

  5. Schedule a same day repair if available.

🧼 How do I prevent future denture damage?

Preventative care includes:

  • Removing dentures before sleeping

  • Cleaning them with non-abrasive solutions

  • Avoiding very hot foods or sticky substances

  • Having regular dental check-ups

  • Replacing old or worn-out dentures every 5–8 years

🧳 Can same day denture repairs be done while I wait?

In many cases, yes. If the repair is minor, you may be able to wait in the clinic or return within a few hours. Star Dental Care offers same day turnaround for many denture emergencies.

Slippery Teeth are less likely to decay

Researchers have created a small molecule that prevents or impedes tooth cavities in a pre-clinical model. The inhibitor blocks the function of a key virulence enzyme in an oral bacterium, a molecular sabotage that is akin to throwing a monkey wrench into machinery to jam the gears. see full story https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/08/170810173339.htm
