If you've ever experienced a broken denture, you're certainly not alone. One of the most common questions we hear at The Swissedent Denture Clinic in London is, "Why did my denture break?"

Many people assume dentures simply wear out with age or that they accidentally dropped them. While those are common reasons, the reality is far more complex.

Speaking from our experience of clinically treating and technically manufacturing over 800 denture cases every week, and having done so for more than 20 years, we have seen almost every possible reason a denture can fail. The causes often go far beyond simple accidents.

Understanding why dentures break can help you prevent future problems, protect your oral health, and save money on avoidable repairs and replacements.
