Denture Repairs in Bellingham, WA
Same-day repairs. Honest assessment. Back to normal fast.
A cracked, chipped or broken denture does not have to disrupt your week. Fairhaven Denture Care in Bellingham, WA repairs most dentures the same day, including broken bases, cracked or missing teeth and loose partial clasps. James Anderson, Licensed Denturist, inspects the whole denture, repairs the damage and checks the fit before you leave.
If you have an emergency outside our regular hours, call us. After-hours and weekend repairs are available by appointment. And if a denture keeps breaking, the real cause is often a fit problem that a reline can solve.
Who needs a denture repair?

- Emergency, after-hours and weekend appointments when you need them

How does a same-day denture repair work?
Call us first at (360) 746-8300 so we can set aside time for your repair. Bring every piece of the denture with you, and please do not try to glue it. Household adhesives make a professional repair harder and can affect the fit.
James examines the denture to confirm that a repair is the right choice. A clean break in a sound denture is usually straightforward. A denture that has broken more than once, or that rocks on your gums, is often telling us that the fit has changed, and a reline may be the better long-term answer.
The repair is completed in the clinic, usually within the same day. Before you leave, James checks the fit and your bite and polishes the denture so it feels the way it should.
Denture Repair Questions
Yes, in most cases. Fairhaven Denture Care offers same-day appointments for repairs such as cracked bases, broken teeth and partial clasps. Call (360) 746-8300 first so we can set aside the time, and we will give you a clear timeline when you bring the denture in.
No. Home repair kits and household glues rarely hold, they can distort the denture so it no longer fits, and they make a professional repair more difficult. Keep the pieces together in a safe container and bring them in.
If the damage is beyond repair, James will explain your options, which may include a reline, a rebase or a new denture. If your denture has been digitized at our clinic, a replacement can be produced from that record much faster.
Yes, by appointment. Our regular hours are Wednesday and Thursday 9 to 4 and Friday 10 to 2, and after-hours or weekend repairs can be arranged when you call. Leave a message with your name and number if we are not able to answer right away.
Repeated breaks usually point to a denture that no longer fits. When the base does not sit evenly on your gums, it flexes every time you bite, and eventually it cracks. A reline refits the denture to your current gums and removes that stress.
