How to fix a tooth that broke in dentures?

Question

my dad broke a tooth in one of his dentures...its a clean break and i was wondering if we could fix it with something rather than sending them back and waiting forever to get them fixed. the place he got them is very crappy. the bottom denture has broken a few times and everytime we send it to get fixed...they come back and break again. also another tooth keeps popping out of its hole it sits down in. can we use epoxy or super glue? what will hold this? we dont want to ruin them but are thinking we could fix it better than they can since they havent gotten it right since the beggining. we plan to take him somewhere else soon but just for now...any ideas? thanks

Answer 1

epoxt and super glue are NOT made for oral use.  Can be toxic if ingested internally.  I definitely do not use this when i do a denture repair!

Any dentist should be able to fix this same day BUT the best is really a new denture.  I'm sure this has been suggested by your current dentist.  

also if his denture continually breaks, he should consider getting a metal mesh incorporated into the NEW denture.  think rebar.  negative is, it will be slighjtly heavier and of course, cost more than your conventional denture.
