Choosing the Right Dental Professional for Denture Repair

Have a need for a denture repair? A lot of those wearing dentures often come across a need to have them repaired. Accidents happen and dentures are extremely delicate, which makes them prone to damage. However, with the help of the right dental professional, denture repair can be seamless. 

Who to visit for denture repair

The following information is important for those in need of a denture repair. Keep reading to find out who to visit and why! 

General dentists

General dentists are often the professionals who create dentures for patients when needing to undergo tooth replacement. They fit the patients for the dentures and then send the impressions off to a special lab where the pieces are custom created. Once the dentures are created and given to the patient, the general dentist will be the main point of contact from there on out. Any fitting issues with the dentures will be addressed by the general dentist. Additionally, when there is a need for a denture repair, patients will visit their general dentist for a fix or replacement. 

The dentist who made the dentures

Cosmetic and family dentists are also able to administer dentures. Regardless of the type of dentist, when denture repair is needed, it is best for the patient to simply visit the same dentist who created and administered them. Visiting the same dentist will allow for patient history to be utilized to ensure a proper fit and repair. 

What to consider

If the patient is not able to visit the same dentist then it is best for them to consider a few things when trying to decide who to visit for denture repair. The following things should be reviewed and considered.

  • Reviews and recommendations: Asking friends and family for recommendations or even referrals is a great place to start when looking for a dental professional to perform a denture repair. Additionally, online reviews of dental practices can be helpful in making a decision.
  • Consultations: Visiting different dental practices to get a feel for the office environment and staff can be helpful in choosing the right dentist for denture repair.
  • Research: When trying to find a good dental professional for denture repair, it is also a good idea to do research about the practice and dentists. Some dentists do not offer denture services, which would not be useful for repair. Most practices offer their services on their websites or by simply giving them a call and inquiring.

Denture repair should never be delayed or ignored. It is crucial to have any repairs done as soon as possible to ensure long-term damage is not done. Dental professionals are the only people who should perform the repair as they are trained to do so. At-home fixes can potentially do more damage.
