Can a denture that has already been repaired be converted?+
Possibly, but do not assume so. Its strength, fit, bite and tooth position all have to be suitable, and a record of repeated breaks may mean a new denture is the sounder base.
Why does my denture keep breaking in the same spot?+
That pattern is worth investigating. The dentist can examine your denture, fit and bite, and explain what may be behind it. Keep track of where the breaks happen, as that detail can help.
Would implants stop my denture from cracking?+
No one can promise that. Attachments are meant to improve retention, and they do not make the appliance unbreakable. Ask how your bite and the denture’s design would be considered in planning.
Should I just get it fixed one more time?+
Sometimes a repair is perfectly reasonable, particularly while you are weighing other options. An examination can show whether the denture is still a good candidate for it.
What should I do with a denture that has just broken?+
Call the clinic and describe what happened, then keep all the pieces so that they can be seen. It is better to phone than to rely on the form in that situation.
