[Poor fit ](#)dentures that no longer fit properly due to changes in the jaw and gums can flex unevenly during use, leading to stress fractures. [Teeth grinding (bruxism) ](#)Grinding or clenching while wearing dentures places repeated stress on the acrylic base and can cause fractures. [Normal wear and tear ](#)Like any dental appliance, dentures weaken over time with regular use, making them more susceptible to breakage. [Biting hard foods ](#)Chewing on very hard or crunchy foods can put excessive pressure on dentures, causing them to crack or break. [Age of the denture ](#)Older dentures become more brittle as the acrylic material degrades, increasing the risk of breakage. ### Symptoms to Watch For - A visible crack, split, or fracture in the denture base - Sharp edges on the broken denture that irritate or cut the mouth - A tooth has come loose or fallen off the denture plate - Difficulty eating or speaking properly with the damaged denture - The denture no longer fits snugly against the gums - The denture has snapped into two or more pieces ### Dental Treatment Options - Professional denture repair - A dental laboratory can repair many cracks, fractures, and missing teeth on dentures. The broken pieces are bonded together, or a replacement tooth is fitted, restoring the denture to full function. - Denture reline - If the denture broke due to a poor fit, a reline can be performed to add new material to the fitting surface, ensuring a snug, comfortable fit against your gums and reducing the risk of future breakage. - New denture fabrication - If the denture is too old, badly damaged, or has been repaired multiple times, a new set of dentures may be recommended. Modern dentures are made from durable materials and custom-fitted for comfort and natural appearance. - Immediate temporary denture - While a new denture is being fabricated, a temporary denture can be provided so that you are not left without teeth during the process. - Implant-retained dentures - For patients who experience frequent denture breakage or poor fit, implant-retained dentures offer a more stable and secure solution. Dental implants are placed in the jaw to anchor the denture firmly in place. ### Prevention Tips - Handle your dentures carefully — always hold them over a folded towel or basin of water when cleaning to cushion them if dropped. - Remove dentures at night to give your gums a rest and soak them in water or denture solution to prevent them from drying out and becoming brittle. - Avoid biting into very hard foods directly with your dentures — cut food into smaller pieces for easier chewing. - Clean your dentures daily with a soft denture brush and denture-cleaning solution — avoid abrasive toothpaste, which can weaken the surface. - Attend regular dental appointments so that the fit of your dentures can be assessed and adjusted as your mouth changes over time. - Never attempt to repair a broken denture yourself with household glue or adhesives, as these are not safe for use in the mouth and can cause further damage. ### Need Urgent Dental Care?
