Question:
Help ....Broken Lower Partial! How Much $$ To Fix It??
I accidently dropped my 4 month old lower partial in the bathroom sink. It has two wires that latch on to two existing teeth, and broke at the point of one of the wires. It's essentialy being held together by the reline material.
Does anyone know roughly how much it will cost to fix?
[I DON'T want to use those over-the-counter denture repairs!]
Answers:
Ah J, your problem is a mirror image of exactly what happen to me, and my partial was only a few months old.
I ended going to my dentist [those over-the-counter denture repair kits give out in a few days!] and he sent my partial out to the denturist who made them on a Tuesday, and I had them back on Friday.
As for the cost, the denturist said there was a "weakness" at the point of the wire. He said there is a weakness on any partial when wires are used, so there was NO charge.
Good luck to you.
