I broke my partial denture. Can you repair broken partial dentures?

Yes, depending on the material used for your partial, often the appliance can be sent to a lab for repair. Sometimes repairs can be made chairside without the need to be sent out, but again, it will depend on what materials were used for the fabrication. Hope this helps, Dr. G.
Yes, by sending the denture to the lab to be fixed.
Mostly, yes. And sometimes, no. Factors that influence repairability: the material it's made out of, location of the broken part, what broke- the tooth or the plate or a metal part, and so on...
Many times yes. A dentist or a denturist can repair them. A denturist is usually quicker and cheaper.
If it is acrylic, it usually can be repaired. If it has broken chrome metal, probably not.
