Implants can hold a denture that clicks in and out, or a full arch that stays put. Exchange District residents weighing those two designs can look at how each might suit them on McPhillips Street.
Let's find a time
Both designs begin with implants placed in the jaw, and both aim to replace an arch of teeth. The difference comes afterward. A retained denture snaps onto attachments and comes out for cleaning, while a fixed full-arch restoration remains in your mouth, and you clean around and beneath it.
Neither is automatically superior. Your bone, health, bite and cleaning ability have a say, and so do your own feelings about taking teeth out. If you live in the Exchange District, an area in Winnipeg, a dentist at our McPhillips Street clinic can help you see where you stand on each.

Whether your new teeth come out at home is the most obvious daily difference.
One lifts out for access. The other requires reaching around and under it in place.
Attachments and other components may need servicing or replacing on their own schedule.
These are general differences, intended to help you frame your questions. Whichever you prefer still has to be suitable for your mouth.
A removable denture is held in place by attachments, which aims to make it steadier than one with no implant support.
A complete set of teeth is secured on implants, and it stays there when you go about your day.
How many implants either design would use depends on the available support and on the restoration planned, and can only be judged after imaging.
Whichever design suits you, and assuming you go ahead, the broad order stays alike. What gets fitted at the end differs, and healing can affect the overall timing.
Request your visitYour preference, imaging and records are brought together, since the type of arch determines implant positions.
Implants are placed where that design requires, and grafting is added when the plan needs it.
While the bone takes hold of each implant, sites are guarded against harm and reviewed along the way.
Either attachments and a denture or a fixed arch are fitted. Bite and hygiene are looked at after that.
Walk through your day and your evening with each option in mind. Would cleaning a denture at the sink suit you better, or would you rather leave your teeth in and work around them with cleaning aids?
If you have a denture now, bring it to your appointment, and mention what you like and dislike about wearing it.

Two people with similar mouths can prefer different designs for good reasons. If you’re drawn strongly to one, say why. If you aren’t, ask for each to be explained again in terms of your own daily life.
Fit and sensation differ between designs, so ask what you might notice while eating and talking.
Knowing what upkeep each design may need over the years is part of a fair comparison.
You may wonder whether one type could be converted to the other, so bring that question along.
Upkeep for either arch
The implants beneath your new teeth won’t decay, yet the gum and bone supporting them are still vulnerable to plaque. Inflammation there can lead to bone loss, so whether your arch lifts out or stays in, regular cleaning and professional maintenance matter.
Attachments and implant sites need cleaning as well as the denture, and any looseness should be reported.
Trouble cleaning beneath the restoration is something to raise before it turns into a bigger problem.
If your bite changes or pressing down becomes uncomfortable, let the clinic know about it.
Anything like bleeding, swelling, drainage or a persistent bad taste around an implant calls for a call to (204) 338-3003.

Ask our teamAsk for a consultation at Winnipeg North Dental, on McPhillips Street in Winnipeg. Submit the request here or phone (204) 338-3003 and mention which designs interest you.
No, since each has different benefits and demands. Your mouth, your health and how you would handle daily care all determine which design makes sense for you.
Implant attachments aim to steady a removable denture, but it isn’t the same as a fixed arch, and worn parts can loosen it. Ask what kind of movement would be normal.
A denture you remove gives you direct access, though the attachments need care too. Fixed arches stay put, so cleaning under them takes more technique. Your hands and habits count here.
Not necessarily. The design and how much support your jaw offers shape that number. A dentist can tell you more after seeing your imaging.
Ask that during planning, because your existing denture may need adjusting or may not be advisable at certain stages. The answer depends on your site and on your plan.
Learn about snap-in designs, conventional dentures and broader full-mouth planning, all of which relate to this choice.
