You may be interested to know that most dentures when they break do so for a reason.
If the reason is that the denture has been dropped by accident, a simple repair should suffice.
If however the denture has broken while being worn in the mouth there will almost certainly be an underlying reason which needs to be addressed.
This may be that the denture is simply worn out (nothing lasts forever). It may be that the denture has become ill fitting due to the gum receding under the denture or the denture slightly warping out of shape over time.
If this is the case then I always recommend that the patient visit their dentist to have their dentures checked. This in fact should be done at regular intervals in any case, this is because the tissues in the mouth can be constantly changing along with the natural changes, weight loss or gain can also influence the change in dimension of the mouth tissues.

CODE OF CONDUCT
覧覧覧覧覧覧
For DLA Members undertaking selected services direct to the public.
All customers should be informed that:
1. Only a qualified dental surgeon may inspect, adjust and advise on appliances in the mouth.
2. It is possible to have dentures repaired free of charge through a dental surgeon who accepts repairs under the national health service.
3. The quality of work and materials used in the repair are of the highest standard, however, the cause of the fracture or tooth loss is not removed by repairing, therefore, the problem may re-occur.
4. The laboratory cannot advise on causes or cures relating to specific denture problems although general helpful suggestions will usually be offered. Detailed and specific advice should be sought from a dental practitioner.
