A denture that cracked in the sink, a tooth that snapped off the plate, a clasp that bent on a partial: most of it can be repaired, and often the same day. Call (323) 433-6458 and our dentists will see you in Reseda, Monday through Friday, look at the denture and the gums under it, and tell you in writing what the fix costs before it starts.
The $99 covers the emergency exam and diagnostic X-rays for patients paying without insurance. Treatment is priced separately and quoted to you in writing before any work starts.

Denture problems we handle as emergencies
- A full or partial denture cracked or broken in two
- A denture tooth that chipped or came off the base
- A bent or broken clasp on a partial denture
- A denture that suddenly rocks, slips or won't seat, often after a natural tooth was lost
- A sore spot or ulcer the denture is rubbing raw
- A remaining natural tooth under a partial that's aching, broken or loose
Some of these are about the appliance, some are about your mouth, and the visit covers both.
What not to do with a broken denture
Don't use household glue. It's toxic, it never holds, and it ruins the surface so a proper repair is harder. Don't try to bend a clasp back yourself; metal fatigues and snaps. Don't keep wearing a denture with a sharp broken edge. Keep all the pieces, including a tooth that came off, in a bag, and bring everything to the visit.
What happens at your same-day visit
The exam comes first. If you still have natural teeth, that includes X-rays, because a partial that stopped fitting is often the result of a tooth problem underneath. Our dentist inspects the denture, checks how it sits on the gums and gives you a written price for the repair.
A clean break, a reattached tooth or a new clasp can often be handled the same day. A denture that needs a reline, because the gums have changed shape and the plate no longer fits, may take a little longer; you're told the timing before you commit. If the denture is beyond repair, you leave with the options for a replacement in writing.
Cost of emergency denture repair in Reseda
Reattaching one tooth and rebuilding a denture that split in half are very different jobs. That's why the visit starts with the exam, $99 with X-rays for patients paying without insurance when natural teeth are involved, and the repair itself is quoted in writing before any work begins. We accept all PPO dental plans, and Cherry, CareCredit and Sunbit financing plus in-house payment plans are available. Details are on the cost and insurance page.

Frequently asked questions
Can you repair my denture while I wait?
Often, yes, for a clean break, a loose tooth or a clasp. Some repairs and most relines take longer, and you'll know the timing from the written plan before anything starts. Call (323) 433-6458 and describe the break so the front desk can plan the visit.
My denture broke and I have a family event tomorrow. Any hope?
Call now. With a same-day appointment and a straightforward break, there's a reasonable chance you'll have it back in time. If the repair needs more time, our dentist will tell you honestly on the phone or at the exam rather than promising something the denture can't deliver.
Why did my partial suddenly stop fitting?
Usually because something changed in your mouth: a natural tooth that broke or loosened, gums that have receded, or a clasp that bent. The exam and X-rays find the cause, and treating that is what makes the partial fit again.
Do you make new dentures if mine can't be fixed?
Yes. If the repair isn't worth doing, our dentist explains the replacement options and their written prices at the same visit, and the new denture is made here.
