The snap ring for my mini implant dentures fell off. How can I glue it back on? Thanks. Nile
Nile – Any components of your denture or implants that malfunction should be repaired by your implant dentist and his or her laboratory.
Utility adhesives are not designed to repair oral appliances. The chemicals in them can be toxic, cause irritation or an allergic reaction, and quickly break down in the wet environment of your mouth.
Dental adhesives are designed not only to repair the components, but also for use inside of your mouth. Dental adhesives are super strong and will withstand the wet environment that saliva produces.
After examining your dentures and implants, your implant dentist will try to determine why the snap loosened. After the repair is made, he or she will also ensure that your dentures fit properly onto the implants for maximum comfort and stability.
Contact your implant dentist for an appointment to examine and repair the snap on your dentures.
