A cracked denture or partial can leave you unable to chew and reluctant to smile. Keep every piece, put the glue away and call our McPhillips Street clinic to ask how to proceed.
Let's find a time
It might have slipped from your hand over the sink, or given way at dinner, or come apart with a clasp hanging loose. For Kildonan residents who wear a denture or partial every day, that small accident can change what you can eat, how you speak and whether you want to leave the house.
The urge to fix it at the kitchen table is understandable, yet household glue is not something to use on dental work. Call Winnipeg North Dental instead and describe the damage. Dental care takes place at our clinic on McPhillips Street in Winnipeg, where the dentist can also look at the mouth underneath for sore spots or other problems.

Teeth, clasps and fragments can all tell the dentist something, so keep them in one container.
A home repair can stick things together badly and complicate what the dentist needs to do.
A partial relies on natural teeth, and any pain or looseness there matters on the phone.
Lost or broken dental work ranges from an inconvenience to a real problem. The urgency usually depends on whether anything is sharp, sore or swollen, so report those details even if the denture is your main concern.
Each of these goes beyond a simple breakage and should be mentioned early in your call.
The dentist checks your mouth as well as the damaged appliance, then explains which options fit what has happened.
A breakage rarely needs an ambulance, but medical warning signs still come first. Difficulty breathing or swallowing, heavy facial swelling, bleeding that keeps going, fainting or a serious injury to the face call for 911 or emergency medical care. If a piece of denture may have been swallowed or inhaled and you are struggling to breathe, call 911.
Your particular steps may differ. Which ones apply depends on the type of denture, the damage and the condition of your mouth.
Request your visitSay whether it is a full denture or a partial, where it gave way and whether any part of your mouth hurts. This helps the clinic judge urgency.
Carry every part as it is, unglued and unfiled, along with your health information, so the dentist sees the break the way it happened.
Your gums and any remaining teeth are examined, with X-rays only if the dentist considers them useful for what is going on.
Options are explained in ordinary terms. A further appointment may be arranged when the solution cannot be completed during this visit.
A clean, closed container keeps small parts from going missing. Resist any temptation to sand down, bend or tape the damaged section first, however tidy that might look.
Have an older denture at home? Ask on the phone whether to bring it or whether it would be useful to wear in the meantime.
A consultation room and the waiting area at the clinic.
Many people feel self-conscious walking anywhere with a gap they normally keep covered. That reaction is very common, and it is fine to tell the clinic about it when you call.
Chew whatever feels manageable, and steer clear of hard or sticky things that could worsen the damage.
If talking feels different without the denture, there is no pressure to hurry through your explanation.
Being able to eat, speak or appear at something soon are all reasonable priorities to raise.
Living with the result
If your denture has been changed or replaced, your mouth may need time to adjust. Notice how it sits and report anything that seems off instead of pushing through.
A spot that stays sore is worth a phone call, as it may need the dentist’s attention.
Any appointment arranged for adjustments or replacement work remains important after the immediate problem has passed.
If the break happened during cleaning or storage, ask how to reduce the chance of another accident.
A new swelling, a bad taste or a sore that does not settle deserves a call to (204) 338-3003.

Helpful details about emergency dentistry in Kildonan.
Ask our teamPlease do not. Household glue is not meant for use on dental work, and it can leave the parts misaligned. Keep the pieces together in a container and phone the clinic about what to do.
It may not be urgent in the medical sense, though it can still be a real hardship. Call and explain how it affects eating and speaking, then the clinic can advise you on how to proceed.
A phone conversation helps with urgency, but the dentist needs to see the damage and your mouth before giving advice about repair or replacement. Whether a broken denture can be fixed depends on what they find.
Yes, so lead with that when you call. A broken natural tooth has its own concerns, including pain and exposure, and the partial may not fit the same way until that tooth has been dealt with.
Ask the clinic before doing so. If it has a sharp edge, rubs, moves oddly or could come apart in your mouth, take it out, store it safely and explain what you are noticing when you phone.
That depends on the damage and on what is recommended, so a figure cannot be given here. Once the dentist has assessed things, ask about the cost of each option and how your coverage might apply.
Phone (204) 338-3003 and describe what broke, whether anything hurts and what kind of appliance you wear. The clinic will explain how to go ahead, with any assessment at the McPhillips Street location in Winnipeg.
A broken appliance can be a good moment to ask whether your current solution still suits you. These pages introduce some options the dentist could discuss.
