How can someone in Amber Trails book a partial denture consultation?+
Send your request through this page or dial (204) 338-3003. Appointments are held at our McPhillips Street clinic in Winnipeg, and the clinic will be in touch regarding timing.
What holds a partial denture in place?+
Your remaining teeth and the oral tissues provide the planned support and retention. The exact design depends on which teeth you have and their condition.
Is a partial always the right choice if I still have some teeth?+
Not necessarily, and that’s what your assessment is for. Your dentist considers the teeth you have left, your gums and your bite before suggesting an appliance or discussing alternatives.
Do I need to take my partial out to clean it?+
Yes. Remove it for brushing, and use the opportunity to clean the teeth, gums and tongue it normally sits against.
Should I use regular toothpaste on my partial?+
Often not, since a lot of toothpastes wear down denture materials. Choose a brush and products suited to your appliance.
