What do You Mean by Clasp Repair?

Many dentures come with metal clasps that are designed to offer extra support. Sometimes they can get damaged and need to be fixed by a prosthetist at a specialized clasp clinic.

The term covers all kinds of issues associated with them and is often a better alternative to getting a complete replacement.

Benefits of Visiting a Denture Clasp Clinic for Repair

Whenever any form of damage occurs to the denture, it is best to visit a good Clasp Clinic and leave them at the hands of a qualified expert rather than trying to fix it all by yourself. They offer many advantages, such as

mproves Longevity

Getting an oral appliance fixed in any way allows you to keep using it for longer and is usually better than getting a new one prematurely. Also, adapting to a new denture is not always easy, which is why repairing an old one is often better.

More Affordable

Getting a broken clasp fixed will generally cost you much less than getting a new denture altogether.

Good for Oral Health

Never continue wearing a denture if you notice issues with the clasp or any other part of it. Doing so will cause further damage to them and can even be harmful to your mouth and gums.

Common Types of Repair at Our Denture Clasp Clinic

We offer many different types of repair options based on the damage. Our prosthetist asks you about the broken dentures and thoroughly assesses them before deciding upon the best course of action. We get all sorts of cases, so do not hesitate to let us know all the details.

Bent Clasp

If the clasp is only slightly bent, then it can usually be fixed at a denture clasp clinic using special pliers for adjustment. The dental technician works to reshape the damaged clasp, and once done, the oral appliance is tested either on a model or in the mouth to check for proper retention. If the bending is too great, then repair may not always be possible.

Loose Clasp (Acrylic)

This type of damage is more common among acrylic dentures. The clasp is usually removed when found to be loose, and the acrylic around the loose area is trimmed. The clasp is repositioned properly into the denture, and then new acrylic is added. Finally, it is processed, polished, and finished before being handed over to you.
Sometimes, the old clasp cannot be used again, so a new one (usually made of wrought wire) is added to the acrylic base.

Broken Clasp

Many times, the clasp gets badly broken and needs to be replaced. It can happen both for acrylic and metallic dentures. A new clasp needs to be added to ensure the denture is usable again.

For Acrylic Dentures: This is usually done by adding a new wrought wire and bending it into shape. Fresh acrylic is then used to hold the new clasp in position. Finally, it is processed and polished before being handed over. Normally, it is a simple process.

For Metal Dentures: The process is a lot more sophisticated, as the clasp is part of the metal framework. Normally, the best move is for us to try laser welding a new clasp into it or add a wrought wire clasp by attaching it to the framework. A lot of times, a new framework may need to be used. In most cases, a clasp clinic may not be equipped to fix them up, and sending them to a laboratory is the best option for the most part.

Flexible Dentures

Even flexible dentures, which have a lower chance of needing repairs, can face clasp damage, which usually cannot be repaired with acrylic. They are normally fixed using advanced techniques like heat processing and may even have to be sent back to the manufacturer sometimes.
The procedure is more technique-sensitive, and there are cases where the denture may have to be remade.

Our 4-Step Process to Get Your Clasp Fixed

We make it easy for you to get your oral appliance fixed and offer some of the best denture clasp repair services available in the region. Working with us will be easy for you. Here’s how it goes

First Visit

You just have to contact us so we can pick a suitable time slot for you to visit us. You may also look up “clasp near me” to find our website and GPS location. During your visit, you need to carry the denture with you and describe the issues you face to us in person.

(Free) Assessment

Our prosthetist will carefully evaluate your dental item and then decide the best way to address the issue. Sometimes, a clasp repair may not be possible, so our experts will suggest another solution to you. Some methods may take longer than others, so you need to be prepared for all possible scenarios.

Performing Repairs

Once the right methodology has been decided, the repairs are then performed at our clasp clinic or laboratory, depending on the type of oral item and the nature of the damage. You can stay in touch with us to keep yourself updated.

Collection

The dental item is finally handed over to you after completing repairs and finishing. You may also receive instructions on how to take care of them better to avoid damage in the future.

Self-Care Tips for the Future

Just because you’ve gotten the clasp fixed does not mean it cannot be damaged again. This is why it is important to listen to your prosthetist carefully and follow their advice well.

Do not keep them in a very high place because they can easily break if they fall and get damaged.
If you feel any signs of clasp damage, it is best to let your prosthetists or any other qualified expert know. Avoid persisting with the damaged denture as it can harm your oral health.
Never try to repair a clasp or any other part of the denture by yourself unless told to by a prosthetist. You could end up causing more damage to it.
Be willing to replace dentures if needed. While you can keep hold of dentures for longer by maintaining them well, they will not last forever, and sometimes getting a new one is the more sensible thing to do.

Real Reviews From Real Users Sharing Their Journey With Us

Dr. Francois is very easy going, he really understood my concerns and reassured me that there wasn’t anything to worry about by getting dentures made for my father.

Does Clasp Clinic offer same-day denture repairs?

It depends on the type of oral appliance you use and the nature of the damage. But yes, sometimes they can be fixed up within the same day itself.

How much does it cost to fix a denture clasp?

It depends on the extent of the damage and whether the clasp needs to be tightened, repaired, or fully replaced. But generally, it is a lot more affordable than getting a new one altogether.

Why do denture clasps break?

They can break due to normal wear and tear, which builds up over time, accidental dropping, metal fatigue, or any form of excessive bending can also contribute to the damage.

Do I need a new denture if the clasp breaks?

Not necessarily, as for the most part, only the clasp needs to be fixed or changed, and the rest of the denture can still be used.

Should I try to fix a denture clasp at home?

No. It is best to always leave such tasks to a qualified prosthetist. You may even cause more harm than good to the oral item. So never try to fix it yourself unless told to by an expert.

What should I do if my denture clasp breaks?

If it breaks, then stop wearing it and contact a clasp clinic so you can get the issue resolved. Never ignore the issue and continue using them as it will only cause more harm to your oral health.
