Sometimes the clasps or locks may wear out or crack. Can such issues be fixed easily in a lab, or does it usually mean replacing the whole denture with a new one?
When clasps or locks on clasp dentures wear out or break, they can often be repaired or replaced in a dental lab without needing a completely new denture. Repairs may include tightening, adjusting, or replacing specific parts. More details on fixing and removing clasp prostheses are available at https://villagedentalmedicine.com/clasp-dentures-how-to-properly-fix-and-remove-a-clasp-prosthesis/. However, if the damage is extensive or the denture is very old, a new one may be recommended for better function and comfort.
If the repair is done correctly, the bite and comfort usually do not change. The laboratory selects parts exactly for the old prosthesis to maintain the usual fit and comfort.
