Partial Metal Repair :
If you have a base that is made out of metal and it broke into two, this can be repaired, but can't be repaired correctly through the mail unless an impression is sent along with your partial denture. Even though you might be able to connect the two pieces together, when repairing metal on a partial denture, the partial denture needs to sit on a dental model to make sure when micro-welded the partial is at the right angles so it will fit in your mouth precisely. If the angle is off by any degree, your partial denture will not fit, making the partial denture unwearable.
Partial Denture Repair :
Partial dentures are made to fit in your mouth exactly. Good dentists won't guess on putting back something that needs precise work. That is the metal clasps need to wrap around your existing natural tooth exactly. The metal clasp needs to be custom made so it will hook around your existing natural tooth. In addition, besides the inside area of the metal hook, the outside is just as important where it needs to fit in between your existing teeth. The clasp can be repaired, but you will need to find a dentist locally who can take the impression along with your partial. Send the partial denture along with the impression material attached to the partial denture. You will need a dentist to take the impression for you.
Plastic Partial Repair :
The repair of the plastic on the partial denture is considered as a break. As along as the pieces match up like a puzzle, the dentist will be able to repair your broken partial denture.
Porcelain Tooth Repair
In most cases, if the front tooth is still intact, the area that broke are actually two metal pins that hold the tooth in place. This means that a new porcelain tooth cannot be put back on because the metal pins are broken. The small metal pins cannot be repaired because it is connected to the gum area on a metal base. Repairing the metal pins would be costly if at all possible. The alternate solution that will work fine is to replace the tooth with an acrylic tooth.
