• Thin Dentures: Time can weaken dentures and cause them to break or become thin. Over time, the fit can change from natural wear and tear. Acidic food and drinks plays major role to the breakdown of dentures.


• Broken Piece: Sometimes a tooth will break from the dentures or a piece of the acrylic can come off. The metal clasp is also an area that sometimes needs repair.
