No matter how well we care for our dentures, sometimes they wear down and break. The most common causes of broken dentures are: Wear and tear: Dentures undergo stress every day as we use them. Eventually, no matter how well made they are, they will break. Gum tissue and jawbone changes: As your jawbone changes, your dentures will not fit like they used to. This can cause stress on your dentures, leading to wear and tear and breakage. Bone loss: Bone loss occurs in many people, especially as they age. If you experience jaw bone loss, your dentures will move around your mouth and potentially cause cracks and breaks. Accidents:Sometimes accidents happen. Dentures can be dropped, stepped on, or otherwise damaged and need repair. If you have broken dentures, contact us to get them fixed.
