Is it possible to repair worn-down dentures? It all depends on how the denture became worn and its current condition. In this blog, we'll dive into the reasons behind denture wear and discuss the effectiveness of denture repairs. Minor breaks, cracks, or missing teeth can often be fixed by a skilled denture professional. However, severely worn dentures may not be fully restored through repairs.

Otherwise, the solution may involve creating new dentures to fit the current state of the dental arches.
