If you have dentures, you know how important they are in your life. When a denture breaks it puts you in a bind in many ways including the type of foods you can eat and your facial appearance. This is why people with dentures are extremely cautious with their handling and care. Unfortunately, they can still be accidentally dropped, or even damaged by hard objects in the food we eat.

Most of us, more than once, have bitten down on food and hit a hard object. Sadly, denture teeth are more susceptible to damage when this happens. They also stain easier and need proper care and regular maintenance to keep giving you that bright smile.

Very often a denture is dropped and broken in two or more pieces. The good news is this type of denture repair is common and can be fixed fairly quickly and easily. Also, whenever a denture is dropped the teeth can be broken or chipped. This type of denture repair can be handled by an experienced dental lab technician without a problem. It is always a good idea to bring or ship all the broken pieces to the denture repair lab, but teeth aren't a big problem. The technician has a large stock of denture teeth at his disposal and can match and repair a broken tooth without difficulty.

Having a denture repaired is always much cheaper than getting new dentures. You have several options when it comes to getting your dentures repaired. The first option would be to choose a dental lab in your area. However, you should know that this can be quite a bit more expensive than other options.

A safe, convenient and less expensive option is denture repair through the mail.

These services have become more common in the last 20 years simple because of the convenience -- and the fact that packages can be tracked for delivery. Many of these mail denture repair services offer 24 hour return service. You'll also find that they offer a duplicate denture so you will never have to worry about going without your teeth again! A duplicate denture is an exact replica of your current denture and can be worn temporarily while you are having your dentures repaired. When you send your dentures in for repair the dental lab simply makes a copy of your repaired denture and creates a replica. The duplicate is created and usually shipped to you separately a few days after you receive your original repaired denture. And best of all these duplicate dentures cost a fraction of what an original denture costs.

Lastly, you should never consider fixing dentures yourself -- especially with denture repair kits you find at drug stores. Many times you can damage your dentures beyond repair. And worse, even the slightest misalignment, or glue bulging during the repair can cause a very uncomfortable fitting. This can lead to pain and sores in your mouth and much discomfort while trying to eat. Also, you should never consider using super glue or other adhesives you find at home because they can be very toxic when they break down in the harsh environment of your mouth. Bottom line; it is never a good idea to repair dentures yourself. If you do, you risk the chance that they will not fit right and can never be repaired by a professional.

To find a denture repair service that accepts orders by mail and that offers duplicate dentures just do a quick search online. Costs vary, but there are some great bargains out there for those who investigate. When choosing a denture repair lab it is a good idea to look for testimonials of happy customers. This is always a good sign!
