No. never ever, EVER use super glue.

This may sound a little extreme and we don’t want to make you drop your dentures from our over use of the caps lock but it is very important not to glue your dentures yourself but rather take advantage of our walk in denture repair or mobile denture repair service.

This will not hold, it is extremely toxic, in no other circumstance would you choose to pour superglue in your mouth, so why start now? The gluing process can actually cause the denture to be irreparable because it’s very unlikely that you will glue it back together in exactly the right place and once it is glued to break it apart and fix it properly would require a new impression of your mouth from a dentist or clinical dental technician and they would then need to make a new denture for you.

Glue is harmful to your oral care

Super glue contains chemicals that may be toxic to you, and when you use these adhesives in your mouth, you’ll put them in direct contact with your oral tissues which can cause irritation to your mouth and gums, and it could potentially trigger an allergic reaction.

In some cases, glue sets using an exothermic reaction, which means that they generate heat. Unfortunately, the dentin tubules found within your teeth don’t tolerate this well, and can die which may result in the need for further dental work with a dental professional.

Yes, but you need a dental technician to do this.

If an unexpected hole has appeared in your denture the likelihood is there are small hairline fractures around the hole that could cause the denture to snap and break entirely.

The best thing to do is to get in touch with our team at our dental laboratory and we can come to you to repair your denture in no time. Alternatively, if you do not want / need a mobile denture repair you can always come to our lab in Bournemouth and speak to one of our dental technicians about your options. If you are not local then you can post your denture to us and we will send it back to you the same day.

A temporary fix could be using denture adhesive to plug a hole – though this is not a permanent solution and may only last an hour or so.

Unfortunately, there isn’t anything that works well to fix a denture other than the materials used in a dental laboratory.

A denture glue (fixative, polygrip) can be used to temporarily stabilise the denture, but never ever, EVER use super glue. This will not hold, it is extremely toxic and the gluing process can actually cause the denture to be irreparable.

Snapped dentures can be repaired, but only by a trained dental technician.

Snapped dentures require a precise alignment and they need to be bonded with both chemical and mechanical retention. The process may sometimes even need a metal tag to be welded if the denture is partial. Trying to do this yourself could cause serious injury due to the toxic chemicals required for a repair. Not to mention the risk of it going wrong and then making your denture irreparable.

A qualified dental nurse can also repair dentures, but only if they have completed their extended scope of practice and received extra training in this. Please be aware that both dental technicians and dental nurses must be on the GDC register in order to repair dentures. You have the right to ask to know their GDC registration number if you want to.
