Treatment names are hard to take in while you’re sitting in a dental chair. Use this page to work out what you’d like to ask before coming to our McPhillips Street clinic.
Let's find a time
If you like walking into appointments prepared, this one’s for you. A first conversation about dentures may cover a lot of ground, from the design that might suit you to how long you’ll be adapting, and a few written questions can keep you from forgetting what matters.
You don’t have to understand denture terminology to ask well. Start with what bothers you now, such as chewing, speaking or the look of your smile, and go from there. The questions below are starting points, so keep whichever fit and ignore those that don’t.
Explore dentures
Say what you’d like to do more easily, whether that’s eating, talking or smiling in photos.
Your exam findings shape which designs make sense, so ask how they apply to your mouth.
Questions about upkeep, fit and later visits are as useful as questions about the making.
That’s often the first big question. Learning how each design works lets you follow the dentist’s reasoning and ask more specific things.
An upper or lower arch has no teeth left, or may not in future. This design replaces the entire arch and takes its support from the tissues and jaw shape beneath.
You’ve still got natural teeth in that arch. A partial replaces selected teeth, using those remaining teeth and your oral tissues for support and retention.
If a removable denture isn’t what you want, ask what alternatives are available to you. Your suitability is assessed by the dentist.
The general sequence is below. As you read it, note down anything you’d like to know more about for your own case.
Request your visitThe dentist will assess tissues, remaining teeth, jaw relationship and any appliance you have, so ask what they see and how that affects your options.
Impressions or scans record your mouth, while another step notes how your jaws meet. Ask what each is used for if you’re curious.
Tooth position, smile, speech and bite are evaluated before processing. Ask at this stage what can be altered.
Pressure areas, retention and function are checked when it’s delivered, and follow-up is planned. Ask what to do if a problem comes up afterward.
It’s perfectly reasonable to discuss the practical side openly. Knowing what’s ahead can make it easier to decide what you’d like to do.
Estimates depend on your exam and the design you choose, so ask what’s included and how your benefits or CDCP could be relevant, if at all.
The waiting area and the reception counter.
No one can predict just how you’ll adapt, but you can ask what’s typical and what to do when things don’t go smoothly. That’s a helpful conversation to have early.
Some sounds may take practice at first, so ask which exercises, like reading aloud, you might try.
Ask about starting with manageable foods, cutting smaller bites and using both sides when you chew.
Make sure you know how to get a sore spot adjusted, since altering the appliance at home isn’t advised.
The long-term questions
The making of a denture is only part of the story. Before you start, it helps to ask what your routine and future visits are likely to look like.
Ask which brush and cleanser to use, and how to clean your gums, tongue and remaining teeth at the same time.
Find out how to store the appliance when it’s out, and how long it should be left out each day.
Ask how frequently you should have your denture and mouth checked, as tissue changes can affect fit over time.
Did you think of another question on the way home? Call the clinic and ask it.

Ask our teamYou can raise this when you book. The aim of the exam is to help you understand your situation, and you’re free to ask for time to consider what the dentist tells you.
Tell them what you’re finding hardest day to day and what you’d like to change. That gives the assessment and the conversation a clear starting point.
Ask how healthy they are, what role they could play in a partial, and what ongoing care they’d need. The answers depend on what the exam shows.
Yes, please do. Writing them out makes it less likely that you’ll forget something, and it lets you take notes on the answers you’re given.
Ask which other tooth replacement options might apply to you and how they differ. Implant-retained options are one topic you may want to raise, subject to assessment.
