What Do I Do If I Damage My Dentures Cleveland, TX?

What Do I Do If I Damage My Dentures?

If you have dentures, it is important to handle them with care so they can remain in as good a condition as possible. Still, it is wise to ask, “What do I do if I damage my dentures?” We can offer the information and tools necessary to address a problem if you have one. At Jones Family Dentistry can answer any questions you have regarding denture care. To schedule an appointment with our dental office, call (281) 205-5392. In the meantime, here is what you should know.

“What do I do if I damage my dentures?”
If your dentures are damaged, visit our dental office so we can examine them and determine the best way to fix them. One thing you should keep in mind is that your dentures will need to be adjusted one or several times when you first receive them. Patients may call our family dentist office worried that they did something to cause their dentures to fit incorrectly, when in actuality, they only need to be adjusted so they can fit perfectly.

We are an emergency dentist, so if you did indeed damage them, we encourage you to schedule an appointment with our dental practice right away. You can do so by calling 281-205-5392.

Home Care Tips
You should never try to fix your dentures on your own since this can cause the damage to spread. However, there are certain things you can do at home before heading to the dentist, including:

  • Gather anything that has broken off. We encourage you to gather any piece of your dentures that has broken off, including any of the wiring.
  • Use dental wax. If the clasps have become slightly loose, they could be rubbing against your gums and irritating them. In this case, you may want to buy dental wax to place on the wire as a temporary barrier. Be sure to see a “dentist near me” who can treat you quickly.
  • Take them out. Soak your dentures or place them in a case for transportation to our office. Do not continue wearing damaged dentures.

Warning: Do Not Do This If You Damage Your Dentures
Jones Family Dentistry warns patients to avoid doing the following, since this can permanently damage dentures and reduce the likelihood that they can be repaired.

  • Do not buy a home repair kit. These can cause your dentures to break even further, and we have treated patients who have had to spend more money because of it.
  • Do not use over-the-counter glues. Some of them are full of chemicals that can harm you. It is not worth the risk when you can visit our dentist office for help.

Alternatives to Dentures From a Cosmetic Dentist in Cleveland, TX

As a cosmetic dentistry office, we can provide you with alternatives to dentures if you are interested in a more permanent and convenient solution. This includes:

Dental crowns and dental bridges.
We can address partial tooth loss with dental crowns and dental bridges. In this case, the remaining teeth are prepared to create space for the dental crowns. Simultaneously, the crowns, gum base, and new teeth (bridge) are created in the dental lab. You will then come in for the crowns to be secured to the teeth adjacent to the missing ones. These crowns will serve as anchors to hold the bridge in place. In this way, your new teeth will be secure enough to enjoy your favorite foods, speak with confidence, and smile without being concerned about how your teeth may appear. You can care for your dental crowns and dental bridges like you would your natural teeth, and they should remain in place for years.

Dental implants.
If you want a solution that replaces your teeth without requiring support from your remaining ones, dental implants are a better solution. In this procedure, a titanium post will be implanted under the gums and secured to the jawbone. Over the course of several months, the post and bone will fuse together through the process of osseointegration. This creates a durable root system for your new tooth to be attached to. Dental implants look, behave, feel, and function exactly like natural teeth. You can eat what you like, be active, and enjoy life without ever worrying about your replacement tooth or teeth. As a general dentist, we regularly hear rave reviews from our patients who have switched from dentures to implants.

Life with dental bridges and dental implants can be far more convenient than it is when wearing dentures. Dentures need to be removed every night for cleaning and soaking. This can be inconvenient and even embarrassing. Simultaneously, dentures can become loose when eating or speaking, which can be worrisome when going out to eat or attending a public event. None of these problems exist when you replace teeth with a fixed solution.

We can discuss all your options for teeth replacement and also improve the appearance of any remaining teeth. By offering solutions like teeth whitening and dental veneers, our family dentist office will do everything possible to enhance your smile while restoring your missing teeth.

Solving Problems With Dentures
If your dentures need to be repaired, call (281) 205-5392 and schedule an appointment with our dental center right away. We can adjust them so the fit is improved, have damage corrected at the dental lab, and make sure your dentures fit as well as they possibly can. Since we are an emergency dentist office, we can schedule your appointment for the same day in many cases. If, however, you are tired of life with dentures, we are a cosmetic dentistry office and can provide you with alternatives that make it easier to enjoy life without thinking about your teeth.

We are OPEN now with our regular office hours Monday - Wednesday 8am - 4:30pm and Thursday 8am - 2pm starting Monday May 11, 2020.

You will see some changes when it is time for your next appointment in order to increase safety for all. How we schedule, and how we greet and meet you will be different. The "new" normal maybe different from the "old" normal, however, your quality and level of care is one that will NOT change. As always, our goal is to provide high quality dentistry to each and every patient while maintaining a personal and caring relationship that we still treasure with each of you.

Before you arrive, please take your temperature. Anyone with a temperature of over 100.4 degrees may not be seen. You will,also, be asked some screening questions.

Upon arrival of your appointment, please remain in your vehicle and call or text us at 281-592-1500. State regulations now require that ONLY scheduled patients be allowed into the dental office. For minors or patients who need extra assistance, one parent or caretaker wearing a mask may enter the office after screening.

We will then notify you when the patient should come to our front door. We will then check everyone's temperatures, sanitize hands and take a short health history for every person that enters the office. Our entire staff will also be screened prior to each work day.

Social distancing protocols will be in effect throughout our office. Magazines and coffee items will no longer be available in the waiting room as they are difficult to disinfect. Our new attire may resemble something from a Star Wars movie, clinical jackets, gloves, mask and face shields! Despite these changes, we hope you still find that our fun, light-hearted personality will shine throughout the office.

Appointments will be managed to allow for social distancing between patients. This may result in fewer options for you when scheduling your appointments. We kindly ask if you are unable to keep your appointment time, please notify us as soon as possible, so we can offer it to another patient. We will do our best to allow greater time between patients to reduce waiting times for you.

We are so happy to be back and here for your dental needs. Call to schedule your appointments. If family members can schedule together, this will help with scheduling and manage sterilization quicker in our office.

We are so grateful for our amazing staff, family, friends and patients. Everyone has faced challenges, fears, and uncertainties these past few weeks and yet we will rise to the top, despite these difficulties. We value your trust and loyalty and look forward to welcoming you back.
