Why Professional Cleaning?
Over time, dentures can develop stains, plaque, and bacteria that daily brushing can’t fully remove. Professional cleaning restores freshness, improves hygiene, and helps your dentures last longer.

Clean Daily: Brush your dentures every day with a soft-bristled brush and non-abrasive denture cleaner.
Handle with Care: Dentures can break if dropped. Clean them over a folded towel or basin of water to prevent damage.
Keep Moist: Keep your dentures moist by soaking them in water overnight. This helps maintain their shape and prevents drying out.
Rinse After Eating: Rinse your dentures after meals to remove food particles and reduce staining.
Regular Check-Ups: Visit your dentist regularly to ensure your dentures fit well and your mouth stays healthy.
Avoid Hot Water: Don’t use hot water to clean or soak dentures, as it can warp their shape.

What causes dentures to break?

Dentures can break due to accidental drops, wear and tear over time, poor fit, or sudden changes in mouth structure. Cracks, chips, or looseness are all signs repairs may be needed.
Can I repair my denture at home?

No. DIY repairs can cause permanent damage or lead to poor fit, discomfort, or infection. Always consult a professional dental technician for any denture issues.
How long does a denture repair take?

Most standard repairs can be completed on the same day, often within 1–2 hours. More complex repairs may require extra time, especially if the denture needs to be realigned or rebuilt.
Do I need an appointment for my denture repair?

We recommend booking ahead, but walk-in repairs are welcome. Emergency and same-day services are available during business hours.
What if my denture no longer fits properly?

We can assess and adjust your denture for better fit. In some cases, a reline or rebase may be needed to restore comfort and function.
What if my denture breaks outside of business hours?

Avoid using glue or makeshift repairs. Store the broken parts safely and contact us as soon as we open. We prioritise urgent cases.
