When dentures need an adjustment
Your mouth can change over time, especially after tooth loss. A denture that once fit well may begin to feel loose, uneven, or uncomfortable. Do not keep wearing a denture that causes sore spots without calling the office.
What to do if a denture breaks
Do not try to repair a denture with household glue or an over-the-counter repair kit. These can damage the appliance or make it harder to repair properly. Gather any broken pieces, place the denture in a safe case, and call the office for guidance.

Denture Care and Adjustments FAQ
Can dentures be adjusted after I receive them?
Yes. Dentures commonly need adjustments as your mouth adapts or changes over time.
Should I use glue to fix a broken denture?
No. Household glue can damage the denture and may not be safe for oral use. Call the office instead.
Why do my dentures feel loose now?
Changes in the gums and jaw can affect denture fit. An evaluation can determine whether an adjustment, reline, repair, or replacement is needed.
