The methods of repair for emergency denture repairs depend on the severity of the damage.

• Denture relining – Relining may need to be done if the denture doesn't fit properly anymore because of changes to the gums.
• Denture adjustment – Making small changes for improved comfort and function.

The process may involve one or more of the following steps:

• Assess the damage: A dentist examines the level of breaking.
• Cleaning & preparing: After cleaning, the broken denture is ready to be repaired.
• Repairing with adhesives: Fractures and breaks are repaired with special denture adhesives or acrylics bonds or reinforcement.
• Replacing the missing tooth: Missing tooth is replaced and glued on securely.

• Misalignment — if insufficiently corrected — can hinder one’s ability to speak and chew. But a weakened structure might give way again, requiring a full replacement.

However, repairs may not be a suitable option if the dentures are older or heavily damaged. If you are making frequent repairs, it might be time for a full replacement.
