nolajoe Posted October 24, 2017 Report Share Posted October 24, 2017 My partial denture (sometimes called a "flipper") lost a battle with a tile floor and needs to be repaired. I went to Dental Express and was told that their technician is on vacation and I will need to wait until Monday for an appointment. Is there another place Lakeside that can perform a repair on a partial denture? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puro guero Posted October 24, 2017 Report Share Posted October 24, 2017 Dr. Haro in Riberas can repair dentures while-you-wait, without an appointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Posted October 25, 2017 Report Share Posted October 25, 2017 My hubby used to use superglue. Said it tasted like crap but worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrm30655 Posted October 25, 2017 Report Share Posted October 25, 2017 epoxy glue works better. You can find it at every hardware store. Read the instructions and clamp well. If you let it cure, it has no taste Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cured epoxy is inert. Super glue is Cyanoacrylate. It is mildly toxic, especially the fumes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nolajoe Posted October 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2017 Thank you puro guero and stuphel for the recommendation of Dr. Haro's office. I dropped off the denture at 9:30. They called me at 11:15 to come back and try it to see if it fit. There was a problem with the fit and within a few minutes, one of the dentists in the office made the necessary adjustments for a proper fit. So it took about two hours and cost 1500 pesos and now I have my denture in good working order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
