You know your old denture well, flaws and all. If a replacement is under consideration, our McPhillips Street clinic can explain how the process works and what might feel different afterward.
Let's find a time
Experienced wearers have a particular kind of worry. You already understand what a denture is like, and you’ve worked out your own tricks for eating and speaking with it. The thought of starting over can feel daunting, even if the old one is letting you down.
Your mouth will have changed during the years you’ve worn that appliance, and the denture itself may be worn. A new one can be planned around how things are now. It may take a while to feel at home, so telling the dentist what you like and dislike about your current denture gives planning a useful start.
Explore dentures
Years of wearing a denture tell you plenty about what works for you, so please share that knowledge.
Assessment shows whether adjusting, relining or making a new appliance is the appropriate step.
Even seasoned wearers can expect a period of getting used to the new shape and feel.
Your needs may not match those from when your last denture was made. Natural teeth may have been lost, or tissues may have changed, so the design deserves a fresh look.
A new complete denture again relies on the tissues and jaw form, which may now be quite different from when your old one was fitted.
If you’ve been wearing a partial, your remaining teeth are reviewed first, since a new appliance would again rely on them and the surrounding tissues.
Suitability is settled by assessment. Coming in doesn’t mean you’ve committed to replacing your current denture.
You may recall some of this from last time, though techniques such as scans may be new to you. Expect more than one visit, as fit and appearance develop in stages.
Request your visitThe dentist checks your existing denture along with your tissues, any remaining teeth and your jaw relationship. Explain what you’d keep and what you’d change.
Impressions or scans are made of your mouth as it is today, and a new record captures how your jaws relate.
On the trial denture, you’ll assess tooth position, smile, speech and bite. This is your opportunity to say what feels off, before the denture is processed.
Your new appliance is checked for retention, pressure points and function upon delivery, and follow-up is scheduled for the adjustments that often arise.
After years of wear, you’re in a strong position to judge your denture. Take a few minutes to think about how it looks, how it sits and which foods give you trouble.
You might also like to ask whether to keep your old denture once the new one is finished, and what to do with it.
The waiting area and the reception desk.
Tricks you’ve built up around an old, loose denture might not suit a new one. Your cheeks, tongue and lips have to learn again, and that can take patience, even with years of experience behind you.
A different shape can feel strange at first, including to someone who’s been wearing dentures for a long time.
Your tongue has grown used to old contours, so reading aloud may help it become familiar with the new ones.
Fresh pressure spots are something to mention and have adjusted, as you’d no doubt have done before.
Going forward with the new one
It’s common for wearers to keep an old appliance going for years without a check. Regular review lets you and the dentist notice changes in your mouth as they occur.
Tissues keep changing, so looseness, food getting caught or new soreness are worth an assessment rather than a workaround.
Long-time wearers may have tried a few fixes along the way, yet sore areas should be adjusted at the clinic and not at home.
Ask whether the brush and cleanser you’ve always used are suitable for the material in your new denture.
Unsure whether something about the new denture is normal? Phone and ask.

Helpful details about dentures in Old Kildonan.
Ask our teamAn assessment shows whether the denture and your tissues suit a reline or whether new work makes more sense. Wear, damage and fit are all taken into account.
Tell the dentist what you’d like to keep, and bring the current appliance. You’ll be able to judge tooth position and appearance during the trial stage.
Your mouth may be accustomed to the old shape, so a new one can seem foreign at first. Report any soreness, because that can be adjusted.
Ask the dentist about this at your exam, since it depends on your situation and on the condition of the current appliance.
Your remaining teeth would be examined, and the options reviewed from there. Sometimes the design can change, so bring the partial with you.
