Fast, Reliable Same-Day Denture Repairs in Mandurah
Mann Denture Clinic provides denture repairs in Mandurah, with same-day options available. Our goal is to help support comfort and function when breakage or wear occurs.
How Denture Repairs Work to Restore Comfort and Oral Functionality
Dentures can chip, crack, or become loose from daily use or accidental damage. These changes often make eating, speaking, or smiling feel less natural or comfortable. When small issues are not addressed early, they can lead to irritation, sore spots, or impact the denture’s fit. At Mann Denture Clinic, we begin with a thorough assessment to identify the concern and discuss the most suitable course of action. To support patient needs, Mann Denture Clinic offers same-day denture repair for cases where timely care is appropriate.
Are You a Candidate for Denture Repairs?
Denture repairs may be appropriate when changes in fit, comfort, or appearance occur. A professional assessment at Mann Denture Clinic will help determine the most suitable approach to supporting comfort and function.
- Minor chips or surface cracks
Small fractures or chips can affect comfort or hygiene and may worsen if not assessed by a dental professional. - Loose or ill-fitting dentures
Changes in fit may cause discomfort, sore spots, or difficulty eating—often indicating the need for adjustment or repair. - Accidental drops or impact damage
A denture that has been dropped may develop stress points or visible damage, even if it appears mostly intact. - Visible wear or thinning areas
Gradual material wear can compromise strength, stability, and function, especially in older dentures used daily.
What to Expect During the Denture Repair Process
Understanding the denture repair process can ease anxiety and help you prepare. At Mann Denture Clinic in Mandurah, our team provides professional care to help support comfort and function when repairs are needed.
Damage Assessment
We begin with a careful examination of your denture to identify the type and extent of damage. This allows us to determine the most suitable repair option.
Impression (If Needed)
Some repairs require an impression of your mouth, especially if the fit has changed. For minor issues, this step may not be necessary.
Same-Day Repair
In many cases, repairs can be completed on the same day, depending on the type of damage and appointment availability. This option may assist patients who rely on dentures for daily function.
Digital scanning is now available (conditions apply), as it will not be something we can do with every case we see.

Frequently Asked Questions About Denture Repairs
Find answers to common questions about denture repairs in Mandurah, covering costs, same-day options, and when to seek professional help if dentures break.
Do you offer same-day denture repair service?
Yes. We offer a same-day denture repair service for certain types of damage, such as minor cracks or looseness. This option can be helpful if you rely on your denture for eating, speaking, or daily activities.
Availability depends on the complexity of the repair and appointment times, so contacting us early in the day improves the likelihood of same-day completion. We first examine your denture to confirm the repair is suitable and that it will provide results appropriate for comfort and function.
How much does a denture repair cost?
The cost of denture repairs in Mandurah can vary depending on several factors.
- Type of repair needed:
The kind of repair affects the cost. For example, repairing a broken base may be priced differently from replacing or adding a tooth. - Extent of the damage:
The severity of the issue plays a role in determining the fee. A small surface crack usually requires less work than repairing multiple fractures or restoring several areas. - Materials required:
Certain repairs may involve using different materials to restore strength, stability, and appearance. These materials can influence the overall cost. - Time needed to complete the repair:
Repairs that require urgent attention or involve more complex adjustments may take longer, which can increase the price.
Most denture repairs range from $150 to $500, depending on the treatment needed. Final costs are confirmed after assessment and may vary if additional work is required. After examining your denture, we provide a clear estimate before starting any work.
Can I repair my broken dentures at home?
It is not recommended to attempt repairing broken dentures at home. Over-the-counter glues or DIY kits may seem convenient, but they can damage the denture material, create rough surfaces, or alter the fit.
These changes may cause discomfort, irritation, or further damage, which could make future repairs more difficult. Professional dental prosthetists use specific tools and dental-grade materials to restore strength and function to an appropriate standard.
If your denture breaks, arranging a professional assessment allows the repair to be completed under appropriate care and supports ongoing comfort.
Do repaired dentures feel as secure as new ones?
Repaired dentures may feel secure and comfortable, but this depends on the type of damage and the condition of the existing denture.
A professional repair focuses on restoring stability and function; however, wear in other areas or changes in the gums can still affect the fit.
In some cases, further adjustments or a reline may be suggested to support comfort. Your dental prosthetist will review the denture and discuss options that may help improve stability.
Which option is better: repairing a damaged denture or replacing it?
The choice between repairing or replacing a denture depends on its condition and your needs.
Repair may be appropriate when:
- Damage is minor, such as a small crack or a loose tooth.
- The denture still fits reasonably well and remains comfortable.
- The overall structure is in good condition.
Replacement may be more appropriate when:
- The denture is old or shows significant wear.
- It has broken in multiple places.
- It no longer fits comfortably due to changes in your mouth.
An in-person assessment helps determine whether repair may support comfort and function or whether replacement would be the more appropriate long-term option.
What are the signs that my dentures need repair?
Changes in how your denture feels, looks, or functions can indicate it may need attention. Common signs include:
- Persistent discomfort or soreness:
Pain or irritation that doesn’t improve may mean the fit has changed. - Difficulty chewing or speaking:
New challenges with eating or pronunciation can signal wear or damage. - Visible cracks or chips:
Even small defects may worsen with use. - Movement when in place:
A denture that shifts can affect both comfort and function. - Stains or rough surfaces:
These can make cleaning harder and impact oral hygiene.
If you notice these changes, a professional assessment may help identify concerns and guide the most appropriate next steps.
What’s the difference between relining and repairing dentures?
Relining and repairing serve different purposes. Below are the main aspects compared:
- Purpose
- Relining:
Relining is used to improve the fit of a denture when the gums or jawbone have changed. - Repairing:
Repairing is used to address structural damage such as cracks, breaks, or loose teeth.
- Relining:
- Process
- Relining:
Relining involves adding new material to the fitting surface of the denture. - Repairing:
Repairing involves joining, rebuilding, or replacing damaged sections of the denture.

- Relining and repairing:
Relining and repairing are different but complementary services. A professional assessment helps determine the most suitable option to support the ongoing comfort, function, and durability of your denture.
What happens if I ignore a small crack in my denture?
A small crack in a denture may seem harmless, but it can grow larger over time with regular use.
As the crack worsens, it can weaken the structure, affect the fit, and cause discomfort when eating or speaking. Cracks can also trap food and bacteria, which may negatively affect oral hygiene.
If the damage becomes more severe, a simple repair may no longer be possible, and replacement could be required.
Only trained dental professionals know how to repair a cracked denture. They use dental-grade materials and proper techniques to restore its strength and function to an appropriate standard.
How do dental clinics repair broken dentures?
Dental clinics follow a step-by-step process to repair broken dentures using appropriate tools and materials.
- Assessment:
The denture is examined to check the extent of the damage and the overall condition. - Cleaning and preparation:
The damaged areas are cleaned, and the surfaces are prepared for bonding or rebuilding. - Repair work:
The break or crack is joined or rebuilt using dental-grade acrylic or other appropriate materials. - Finishing:
The denture is polished, and adjustments are made to help support comfort and function.
Seeking professional care is the most reliable way to have a denture repaired, as this helps reduce the risk of further damage or discomfort.
How can I care for my dentures to prevent future repairs?
Caring for dentures properly may help maintain their condition and reduce the chance of damage. Some helpful practices include:
- Clean your dentures daily.
Use a soft denture brush and a denture-specific cleaner to remove food debris and plaque. Avoid regular toothpaste, as it can be abrasive. - Handle dentures over a soft surface.
When cleaning or removing them, hold dentures over a folded towel or a basin of water to reduce the risk of breakage if they slip. - Avoid using hot water.
Hot water can warp denture material, so rinse with cool or lukewarm water instead. - Store dentures safely when not in use.
Keep them in a denture-soaking solution or clean water to prevent drying and distortion. - Avoid chewing hard objects.
Biting on ice, hard lollies, or other hard foods may cause cracks or chips. - Schedule regular check-ups.
Professional reviews can help identify small issues before they become more complicated.
By following these steps, you may support the durability of your dentures and maintain their comfort and function.
