A denture that cracked in half, lost a tooth, or suddenly rubs a raw spot is an emergency when it's the way you eat and talk, and our Lithia Springs dentist treats it as one. Call (770) 802-2220, Monday through Thursday 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM or Friday 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM, and we'll hold you a same-day time on Lee Road.
The $89 covers the emergency exam and diagnostic X-rays. Treatment is priced separately and quoted to you in writing before any work starts.

Denture problems we see the same day
- A full or partial denture cracked or broken in two
- A tooth chipped off or missing from the denture
- A broken clasp on a partial, so it no longer stays in
- A sore spot or ulcer from a denture that's rubbing
- A denture that suddenly feels loose or won't seat, often after a natural tooth under a partial breaks or is lost
- Pain or swelling in the gum under a denture
If a natural tooth that anchors a partial is the real problem, that tooth is treated here too, whether that means a extraction or repair.
What not to do
Don't use household glue, epoxy or a hardware-store adhesive on a denture. It doesn't hold, it's not safe in the mouth, and it usually makes a proper repair harder or impossible. Don't try to bend a clasp back yourself; the metal fatigues and snaps. If a piece broke off, keep it dry in a small bag and bring every fragment.
What happens at your same-day visit
Our dentist examines the denture and your mouth, and the $89 exam includes X-rays when a natural tooth or the bone under the denture might be involved. Then you get a written price for the fix.
Sore spots are adjusted in minutes, and you leave with the denture in place. Cracks, broken teeth and broken clasps are repaired; many repairs can be done the same day, while some need a laboratory turnaround, in which case you'll know the timeline before you decide. When a denture is loose because the gum has changed shape, the honest fix is a reline rather than a repair, and that gets priced and explained too.
Cost of emergency denture repair in Lithia Springs
Smoothing a sore spot, re-attaching a tooth, and repairing a fractured plate are different jobs, so the price is quoted in writing after the exam rather than listed here. PPO plans are accepted, and CareCredit financing and in-house payment plans are available. The cost and insurance page explains the process.

Frequently asked questions
Can my denture be repaired the same day?
Often. Sore-spot adjustments and many chip and tooth repairs are done while you wait. A fracture across the plate or a broken clasp may need lab work, and if so our dentist tells you the turnaround before you decide. Call (770) 802-2220 and describe the break; the front desk can usually tell you what to expect.
Is it worth repairing an old denture?
Sometimes yes, sometimes the money is better put toward a new one. A denture that's cracked because the fit has changed will crack again. Our dentist gives you the repair price and an honest opinion on whether it's a good investment, and a new denture is quoted separately if you want the comparison.
Can I eat with a cracked denture until my appointment?
Carefully, and only if it still seats and isn't cutting your gum. Soft foods, chew on both sides evenly, and take it out if it starts to hurt. A denture that's split through is safer left out until it's repaired; a sharp edge can cut the tongue or cheek.
The gum under my denture is swollen and sore. Is that an emergency?
It can be. Swelling under a denture may be a rubbing sore, a fungal irritation, or an abscess from a root left under the plate. The exam and X-rays tell which. Leave the denture out as much as you can, rinse with warm salt water, and be seen today.
