To correctly replace a missing tooth in a denture or reattach an existing tooth that has popped out you first remove a small amount of the pink denture base that forms the socket, usually by grinding with a carbide bur. Next you size the replacement denture tooth to the correct contours or freshen the existing tooth while leaving a small amount of space between the tooth and the ground out socket. Then you mix new acrylic and place it in the space behind the tooth you have secured in place by sticky wax or will place by hand in the uncured acrylic. Most acrylics need to cure submerged in 120-130 degree hot water inside a pressure curing unit at 2-3 bars of pressure for 30 minutes. Then you grind to smoothness, reform the gingiva simulation and remove any acrylic that has flashed or is out of contour before you polish with pumice before high shining. Next, you disinfect the finished restoration.

Using any material to resecure the tooth without providing space for that material will have the tooth out of place or contour since the material resecuring or gluing the tooth to the existing denture base will take up space and not let the tooth seat fully where it was. Acrylics and epoxies are fairly permanent, but most glues let go after a while in saliva. If you use any substance yourself you almost always make it impossible to go back and do it correctly without much more labor and expenses.

Hope this helps. My advise is to go to a professional before you make it worse.

What is denture cloning?

Denture clone is a duplicate denture or spare denture. Some dentures are still made with porcelain denture teeth, and with this known fact, a clone denture cannot be made with porcelain denture teeth. Cloned dentures are made for temporary uses such as an emergency backup denture. If you are searching for new dentures, a cloned denture should not be of choice because it is a copy of your original denture. That is if the denture teeth are worn down, so will the cloned denture teeth be worn down. If some of your denture teeth are chipped, so will the cloned denture teeth be chipped as nothing on the denture will change, meaning its structure. If your dentures are loose, then your best solution may be to take your denture to a dentist where it can be relined so that it fits snug. If you are still in the market after you get your denture lined again, your temporary backup denture solution would then be a cloned denture or duplicate denture. 1. It will be an EXACT duplicate of your existing denture made with new, high impact, break- resistant, denture base material (pink gum material). 2. The teeth will be EXACTLY the same shape and size of your original denture. The shade of the teeth can be made lighter or darker upon request. 3. The best candidates are new dentures immediately after they have been fitted and all adjustments have been made because there is no tooth wear, but any denture, new or old, can be cloned. 4. Denture cloning is only suggested for well-fitting, comfortable dentures - the only reason being the duplicate is an exact copy of the original denture. 5. Any necessary repairs to your existing denture, including breakage, missing teeth, holes, thin areas, can and must be repaired before the clone mold is made. 6. Clones are an excellent alternative for elderly, home-bound patients who may have difficulty getting to a dental office. 7. A clone denture eliminates the "breaking in" phase of a new denture. 8. An ideal time for a clone to be made is when your denture needs repair due to a loose tooth or fracture. Your denture will need to go to a dental lab for repair. A clone mold can easily be made at this time.

How long after a tooth getting pulled do you have to wait before the implant is put in?

Most often, you don't have to wait at all. You can usually have what is known as an "immediate denture". First, impressions are taken of your mouth as it exists today. From those impressions, the denture is fabricated in a dental lab. When the denture is ready, the remaining teeth are removed and the denture is inserted. You never have to go without teeth. Because this new immediate denture is made by 'predicting' what the arch will be like when the teeth are removed, sometimes several adjustments will need to be made after the denture is seated. This can take several visits to the dentist, but it is all part of the service.

What do you do about thinning of denture plate and small holes?

Dentures are made to last between five to seven years. Perhaps your denture is way above and beyond this measurement of time, and if so you've gotten your money's worth. The denture plate can be rebased, but can only be done by a dental lab or a public denture repair business. Rebase means, to get rid of all the denture acrylic that is at the bottom of the denture that connects to your gums and put new denture acrylic on that area. Once the denture material is taken off, a dental model of your mouth must be provided in order for the denture acrylic to fit snugly around your current gums. To make a dental model of your mouth, a dentist must make an impression of your mouth with the denture in the impression material. Once the denture is sent to a denture repair business, the re-base process can begin, giving you a possible thicker gum line. Some precautions though, you see what you are trying to do is use your old denture to make a new denture. The acrylic gum area may or may not be thin, this is because you are getting the new denture acrylic on an old denture. Small holes, along with a thinning plate sounds like your mouth has changed so much that you may be better off at getting a new denture rather than re basing the old one. Small holes do form when your mouth changes shape, meaning the position of your gum tissue has changed making your mouth wear the dentures into holes. Re-basing is sometimes not the right solution as a new denture is. You can send your dentures to a business that solely focuses on denturerepairservice.com.

What are denture implants?

Dentures on implants are when an oral surgeon places posts inside the bone and the denture is screwed to the implants. The denture is then not removable, except by a dentist. This usually done on lower dentures for patients that do not have a lot of bone and do not tolerate a lower denture well.ANOTHER ANSWER:The denture is removable because the denture rests on the implants, which typically snap into the denture, holding the denture securely. The denture can and should be removed daily for cleaning.
