Why you should not do a denture repair at home?
Many patients believe super glue is the same type of material used by their dentist, but we assure you this is not the case! Please do not try to glue back missing teeth or fix cracked or damaged dentures at home. Glue and denture repair kits sold over-the-counter often contain harmful chemicals and should not be used on dentures. When a patient attempts to repair their broken denture at home, they can not assure proper alignment. Home remedies are typically short term, will not hold and when you bring it to The Denture Center, it may no longer be repairable. Most dentists, without a fully staffed denture laboratory with dental technicians, can only do a chair side office repair with cold cured acrylic. Our lab, at The Denture Center, offers laboratory processed acrylic repairs that are heat cured in a approximately two hours-this is a much stronger, more definitive repair.
If you find yourself with broken dentures, please call us! Our professional dentist and dental technicians will fix the dentures using high quality dental materials to ensure satisfaction and proper fit and comfort. Our denture lab is on the premises and this allows us to complete the repairs in just a couple of hours. In the meantime you could enjoy our cozy reception area and refreshments, or take advantage of the great shopping area which surrounds Herald Square. Let us help you, this is what we have been doing since 1977!
