How to Fix Your Own Dentures

Dentures can develop issues like cracking, chipping, staining, or becoming loose over time. While professional denture repair is best, there are some temporary at-home fixes:

• For cracks or chips, denture glue or an over-the-counter denture repair kit can be used to fill holes and bond pieces together. 
• Loose dentures may benefit from reapplying denture adhesive or using cushioned strips to improve fit.
• There are various methods to remove stains or discoloration from dentures, including soaking them in various commercial and homemade cleaning solutions, or even denture cleaner tablets, for a few minutes or overnight as instructed by the manufacturer. 
• Ill-fitting dentures, including partials, can sometimes be tightened at home using a carefully placed adjustable soft reline material inside the base.
