How a repair works today

Don't glue it, bring it in

It is almost impossible to line the pieces up accurately by hand, and once the glue has set out of position we cannot work to it. Pop it in a tub and walk it into the Poole lab.

We repair it on the bench

We cast a model off the fit-surface, V-trim the crack for the strongest bond and cure fresh acrylic under pressure, usually the same day.

Fitted and checked before you leave

A Clinical Dental Technician is on site, so if it needs adjusting it's done there and then, you're never left stranded.

Please don’t reach for the superglue, or a chemist’s repair kit. Almost nobody can line the broken pieces up accurately by hand, and once the glue has set with them out of position we cannot work to that denture, because any model we cast from it would be wrong too. We then have to take a fresh impression, break it apart again and repair it to that, which takes longer and costs more. Bring the pieces in as they are and we’ll do it right.

The person who fixes it

You deal with the technician who repairs and fits it

When a denture breaks it is stressful, and it usually happens at the worst possible time. The good news is that a clean break is one of the most straightforward things we do. Most repairs are finished the same day, and many in as little as 30 to 90 minutes.

We are a genuine walk-in lab in Poole, not a shop that posts your denture away. You are met by a Clinical Dental Technician, so if the repair needs adjusting or the denture needs easing before you leave, it is done there and then. We won’t leave you stranded.

Repairs are done on our own benches by our own technicians, and a Clinical Dental Technician is on site to fit and ease it before you leave. That matters, because a repair that is set back together even slightly out of position never feels right. Getting it back exactly as it was is the whole job.

A broken denture is stressful enough, so we keep repairs affordable and we always tell you the price before we begin. Most repairs are quick and priced per job.

We confirm the exact price after looking at the break, before any work starts.

Repairs are priced per case. You will always be given the cost before we begin, with no obligation.

How a repair works

From broken to back in your mouth

01

Bring it straight in

Pop the pieces in a tub and walk them into the Poole lab during opening hours. Please do not glue them, because pieces glued out of position cannot be worked to and the repair then has to start again from a fresh impression.

02

We check it and tell you the price

We look at the break, explain what is involved and confirm the cost before we start any work. No surprises.

03

We repair it on the bench

We cast a plaster model off the fit surface, V-trim the crack for the strongest possible bond, then cure fresh repair acrylic under pressure. Usually the same day.

04

Fitted, checked and guaranteed

A technician fits it and eases it if needed before you leave. Every repair carries a two-week guarantee, so if it breaks again you bring it straight back.

Plain answers

Questions about this service

No jargon, no pressure. If your question is not here, call the lab and a technician will talk it through.

Can you repair my denture the same day, while I wait?
Almost always, yes. Most repairs are done the same day and many within the hour. It is only next day if you bring it in right before we close or the break is complex. It is a walk-in service, so you do not need an appointment.
Should I glue it myself first?
Please do not. It is almost impossible to line the broken pieces up accurately by hand, and once superglue has set with them slightly out of position we cannot work to that denture, because any model we cast from it would be wrong too. We then have to take a fresh impression, break the denture apart again and repair it to that, which takes longer and costs more. Bring the pieces in exactly as they are.
How much does a denture repair cost?
It depends on the break, so we look at it and confirm the price before we start. We keep repairs affordable and there is no obligation once you know the cost.
Do I need to see a dentist first?
For a straightforward repair, no. You can come straight to us. If you still have natural teeth and the denture needs more than a repair, an oral-health check may be needed first. A dentist visits the lab on Wednesdays who can help if you are not registered elsewhere.
Will the repair last, or just break again?
A properly bonded lab repair is strong. If a denture keeps breaking in the same place, that is usually a sign the fit has changed and it needs a reline or a remake rather than another repair. We will tell you honestly which you need. Every repair carries a two-week guarantee, and if it does break again we look at the cause rather than simply repairing it a second time.
What if it still does not feel right after the repair?
A Clinical Dental Technician is on site, so if the denture needs easing or adjusting after the repair it is done there and then. You are not sent away to sort it out yourself.
