Picking up where things left off

New to Us With an Existing Denture, for Castlebury Meadows Residents

Changing clinics when you wear a denture can feel complicated, particularly if the dentist who made it knew your mouth well. But an appliance doesn’t have to have been made here for it to be examined here. Existing appliances are a standard part of a denture assessment.

A first visit looks at how the denture is doing today. Your tissues, any remaining teeth, your jaw relationship and the appliance itself all give useful information, and so does what you’ve been told in the past. From there, the conversation can turn to what your mouth needs next.

Bring what you’re wearing

Having the denture in front of the dentist is the natural starting point for an assessment.

Share your dental history

Whatever you remember or have on file about past work may add helpful context to the exam.

Ask about records

If you’d like earlier records considered, ask the clinic how to go about getting them.

Tell us what you have

Knowing your denture type helps.

You needn’t know the technical details of your appliance. If you can say whether it replaces a whole arch or only some teeth, you’re off to a good start.

If it covers a full arch

That’s a complete denture, which takes support from your tissues and jaw shape. Looking at those areas is key, given how they alter over time.

  • Its current retention is assessed at your visit.
  • Pressure areas can be looked for and discussed.
  • Any wear is noted as part of the assessment.

If some of your own teeth remain

You most likely have a partial denture, which gets planned support and retention from your natural teeth and oral tissues.

  • Your remaining teeth would be examined as well.
  • Any tooth lost since it was made should be mentioned.
  • Regular dental care for those teeth still applies.

A denture’s origin doesn’t predict what your mouth needs now. The in-person exam is what tells you about adjustment, relining or replacement.

A new patient’s path

From your first visit to any new work.

Not everybody will need a new denture after changing clinics. If that’s where the assessment leads, the later steps would follow this familiar order.

Request your visit
  1. 01

    A baseline assessment

    You’ll be examined as a new patient, covering tissues, remaining teeth, jaw relationship and the appliance you came in with.

  2. 02

    New records, when called for

    If a new denture is planned, impressions or scans would capture your mouth, and your bite relationship would be recorded.

  3. 03

    A try-in, when relevant

    Any new denture would be trialled for tooth position, smile, speech and bite, so you can compare it with what you’re used to.

  4. 04

    Delivery and ongoing review

    Delivery covers function, retention and pressure areas, then follow-up continues as your mouth adapts to the change.

Helping a new clinic get to know you

Gather what you can find easily.

Incomplete information is fine, so there’s no need to track down every old record. A rough timeline and your current denture are already a good start.

When you book, ask how long a first visit would be and what estimated costs apply, as new patients’ needs differ.

Helpful for a first visit

  • Who made your denture, assuming the office name comes to mind.
  • Approximately when your current denture was made or last relined.
  • Your medication list and any significant health changes.
  • Benefits or CDCP details, if they’re relevant to you.

Getting to know each other

A new clinic can feel strange at first.

It’s normal to feel a bit unsure in an unfamiliar place, especially if you’re a little self-conscious about removing your denture in front of someone new.

Explain your preferences

If earlier care worked well or didn’t work for you, those details are useful to mention at the outset.

Mention existing sore spots

A persistent tender area shouldn’t just be put up with, so bring it up even if you’ve grown used to it.

Ask about any unfamiliar terms

Different offices may describe things differently, so feel free to ask what a word or recommendation means.

Settling into your new routine

Make ongoing care part of the move.

A change of clinic is a useful moment to check whether your home routine still suits you, and to agree how often your denture should be looked at from now on.

01

Compare your cleaning habits

Mention the brush and cleanser you use now, so you can find out whether they’re appropriate for your appliance.

02

Review your overnight routine

Say how you handle wear and storage at present, since rest periods and storage follow the directions you’re given.

03

Set up regular reviews

Your oral tissues and denture function still need checking, as do any natural teeth you have, so don’t let this lapse.

If your denture breaks or starts hurting before your first visit, phone the clinic and describe what’s happened.

Helpful details about dentures in Castlebury Meadows.

Ask our team
Will you look at a denture that another clinic made?

Yes. Assessing existing appliances is part of a denture exam, and the dentist can tell you how yours is fitting and functioning after seeing it.

Do I need my old dental records for a first visit?

Ask about this when you book. The clinic can tell you whether earlier records would be useful in your case, and how they might be requested.

Can my existing denture be relined instead of remade?

It depends on what the assessment finds. Tissue changes, wear, bite changes and damage all matter, and the dentist will explain the appropriate route.

I don’t know what kind of denture I have. Is that a problem?

Not at all. Just bring it with you, and the dentist can identify the design and explain how it’s meant to work in your mouth.

Do I have to start over with a new denture as a new patient?

Being new doesn’t automatically mean a new appliance. Your exam decides whether adjusting or relining the current one is possible, or whether replacement should be discussed.

How do I become a denture patient from Castlebury Meadows?

Phone (204) 338-3003 or send in the form, and say that you have an existing denture. Your first visit would be on McPhillips Street, at our Winnipeg clinic.
