We examine your denture and tell you if it's repairable, how long it will take, and the cost. No obligation.

*With Afterpay you can have your denture repaired today, and pay in four equal installments, interest-free.
Accidents aren’t called accidents because we plan for them. There are a range of payment options available if you don’t have ready cash for your denture repair. We offer interest-free payment plans through Afterpay, Humm, and Zip Money so you can get your denture fixed today. Some home contents insurance policies may even cover items like broken denture repairs.
Loose or badly fitting dentures
If your denture feels loose or uncomfortable, you might need a denture reline rather than a repair. Relining seals gaps between your denture and gums, restoring fit, stability and comfort. A denture reline also improves suction on upper dentures. Loose dentures are more likely to break due to uneven pressure when eating. Our denture clinic in Tweed Heads offers professional denture relines to restore your denture's fit.
Chrome denture repairs in Tweed Heads
Cobalt chrome partial dentures can be repaired at our Tweed Heads denture clinic. Tooth replacements and acrylic repairs on chrome dentures are completed same-day in our laboratory. However, broken metal clasps or chrome base damage require specialist re-welding and take 3-5 working days. Contact our Tweed Heads denture clinic on (07) 5536 4241 for chrome denture repair pricing and timeframes.
Dentist vs denture clinic for repairs
When you take your broken denture to a dentist for repair, they typically send it to a dental laboratory - often one like Northern Rivers Denture Clinic. This adds time and cost since dentists rarely have on-site laboratories. Coming directly to our Tweed Heads denture clinic means faster, more cost-effective repairs because we handle everything in-house.
Can you repair dentures at home? Why DIY kits are dangerous
We strongly advise against attempting home denture repairs or using denture repair kits. Here's why professional repair at our denture clinic in Tweed Heads is essential:
Health risks
Superglue and household adhesives contain toxic substances that can be absorbed through soft mouth tissues into your bloodstream, seriously endangering your health. These products are not made for human consumption.
Damage to your denture
Superglue damages the acrylic surface of your denture, creating build-up that may render the denture irreparable. At minimum, glue removal is time-consuming and adds extra cost before proper repair can begin.
Poor results
Home repairs often result in misalignment, causing poor fit, sore spots and gum irritation. The repair won't last because household glues can't withstand the moisture and pressure in your mouth.
Porosity risks
Professional repairs use a hydro flask to cure the repair material, ensuring the repair isn't porous. Porous repairs have tiny holes that collect and harbour dangerous bacteria, putting your health at risk.
Dentures are made from temperature-sensitive materials applied in highly regulated dental laboratories. Proper repairs require these same materials and controlled conditions, plus milling and polishing to restore the original fit. This isn't something that can be achieved at home.
Frequently asked questions
What is the average cost of a denture repair in Tweed Heads?
Denture repairs at our Tweed Heads clinic start at $150, with the final cost depending on the type of damage and whether replacement clasps or teeth are needed.

We also offer a mobile denture service for patients who can't travel to our clinic. All services include free 30-minute consultations.
How long will my repaired denture last?
The longevity of your denture repair depends on several factors including the age and condition of your original denture, its composition, and the type of repair needed. We can't guarantee repair duration due to these variables, but you can be reassured that the repair site will be stronger than the rest of your denture. Generally, if your denture was in good condition before breaking, a proper repair should last for years.
Can dentures broken in half be repaired in Tweed Heads?
Yes, dentures broken in half can usually be repaired without an impression at our denture clinic in Tweed Heads if the break is clean and the two halves fit neatly back together. The denture can't be warped or distorted. We assess every broken denture individually to determine if repair is possible.
What are the different types of denture repair?
Denture repairs include:
- cracked dentures or broken denture base
- dentures broken in half
- chipped or missing teeth
- broken or bent metal clasps
- minor adjustments and clasp tightening
- acrylic and tooth breaks
Bad fitting dentures can be relined to restore fit and comfort.
Do I need an appointment for denture repairs in Tweed Heads?
No appointment is needed for simple denture repairs. Just bring your broken denture to our Tweed Heads denture clinic and we'll assess it immediately. However, if your repair requires impressions - such as teeth breaking adjacent to natural teeth on partial dentures, or replacement of metal clasps - you'll need to schedule an appointment.
