Broken Denture? Don't Panic. We Offer Same-Day Repairs.
Whether you dropped them on the tile, a tooth popped out, or they just aren’t fitting like they used to, Dr. Zobrist can fix your smile quickly and correctly.
🛑 What To Do (And NOT Do) If Your Denture Breaks
- The "Do": Save the pieces. If a tooth breaks off, keep it! It fits the original denture perfectly and will make the repair faster and more seamless.
- The "Don't": Put the glue down. Never attempt to fix a denture with over-the-counter adhesives. Super glue contains toxic chemicals, permanently ruins the acrylic prosthesis, and turns a simple, inexpensive fix into a costly total replacement.

Same-Day Denture Repair
- Accidents happen. Because Dr. Zobrist previously owned and operated his own commercial denture lab, he understands the precise chemistry of dental acrylics. We handle cracked bases, fractured teeth, and split dentures right here in our office. Most common repairs are completed the exact same day, getting you back to your life without missing a beat
- Dentures aren't indestructible. Biting hard foods, night grinding, or dropping them in the sink can cause immediate fractures. But often, the damage is slow. An improper fit causes your teeth to apply uneven pressure, overstressing the acrylic until it snaps.
- Dr. Zobrist's Pro Tip: Wash your denture and hold the pink gum portion up to a bright light. If you see hairline fractures forming, bring it in for a repair before it snaps completely in half.
Expert Denture Relines
Which Type of Reline Do You Need?
- Direct (Chairside) Reline: Completed right in the dentist's chair while you wait. We add a new hard or soft base material directly into your denture for immediate, long-term comfort.
- Soft Reline: Ideal for full lower dentures or patients with sensitive gums and severe bone loss. We bond a specialized, medical-grade soft cushion to the base to eliminate painful sore spots.
- Lab-Processed Reline: We take a precise physical impression inside your current denture and process brand new, highly durable acrylic into the base. This gives the fit and feel of a brand-new denture in just a day or two.
- Full Rebase: If your teeth are in good shape but the pink acrylic base is thin, discolored, or heavily repaired, we can completely remove the old pink acrylic and replace it with a brand new, highly stable base while keeping your original teeth.
The Advantage of Laboratory Expertise
Many general dental offices have to send your broken dentures out to a third-party lab, leaving you without teeth for days. Because Dr. Zobrist is a former lab owner, we possess the materials, equipment, and advanced understanding required to perform complex repairs and custom relines directly on-site. You get faster turnaround times and uncompromising quality control.
