Maybe dental offices have always put you on edge, or the thought of impressions makes your throat tighten. You’re allowed to feel that way. This page walks through denture visits plainly, so you can decide what to ask our McPhillips Street clinic.
Let's find a time
For some people, the hardest thing about getting a denture has nothing to do with teeth. It’s picking up the phone, sitting in the chair, and not knowing what comes next. If you’ve put this off for a long time because of nerves, you’re far from alone.
Denture work is done in stages, so you won’t face everything in one sitting. Knowing what each appointment is for can take away some of the unknown. You can also say what frightens you before anything begins, and ask what can be done to make it easier for you.

Each appointment has its own purpose, so you can ask what today involves and focus on that alone.
Ask to have any step described to you ahead of time, including what you’re likely to feel.
A clear sense of what bothers you gives you something specific to discuss with the dentist.
Part of feeling anxious can come from vague terms. In plain words, you’ll probably hear about one of these two types after your exam.
When no teeth remain in the upper or lower arch, a complete denture replaces them all. Your tissues and jaw shape support it.
A partial replaces specific missing teeth. It works alongside your remaining teeth and tissues for planned support and retention.
If an assessment suggests that any treatment is needed before a denture, you can ask what that would involve, one step at a time.
The specifics will depend on your mouth, but this outline can help you picture the process. Ask what’s coming at the end of every visit.
Request your visitThis is an examination of your tissues, any remaining teeth, your jaw relationship and any appliance you wear, with time to raise your concerns.
Impressions or scans are taken, along with a record of how your jaws meet. If you tend to gag or feel anxious, say so at the start.
You get to see and test a trial version, so tooth position, smile, speech and bite can be evaluated before processing.
Your finished denture gets checked for pressure areas, retention and function. Follow-up then gives you a chance to report anything uncomfortable.
You don’t have to explain your whole history with dentists. A single sentence, such as telling us that you’re nervous, is plenty to start the conversation.
Knowing how long a visit may run can ease the mind, so ask about the length of your appointment when the clinic contacts you. Estimated costs are fine to ask about too.
The reception area, and a consultation room.
Sounds, smells, tastes, being reclined or having something in your mouth can all be hard for people. If you know your triggers, you can name them, and if you don’t, that’s okay too.
Find out whether your first conversation can happen before you’re in a treatment chair, if that would feel more manageable.
If you think you may need a moment during an appointment, raise that beforehand so you know how to let someone know.
If you’ve heard about ways of managing dental anxiety, ask whether anything would be appropriate for you.
Staying in touch
Coming back after delivery can feel like one more thing to dread. These visits are mainly about making a new denture work better, so it’s worth keeping them.
A sore area should be adjusted rather than endured. Bringing it in soon usually means less time spent feeling uncomfortable.
Begin with foods you can manage, and practise reading aloud as you get familiar with how your new denture feels.
Even with no teeth, your tissues, fit and function still benefit from review, and familiarity can make return visits easier.
Worried about something after your appointment? It’s perfectly fine to pick up the phone and ask.

Ask our teamImpressions or scans record the shape of your mouth, and people’s experiences vary. If this step worries you, let the dentist know beforehand and ask what to expect.
Mention it before your records are taken, as well as any worry about wearing the appliance. The dentist can examine you and talk through what may suit you.
No. More than one appointment is normally needed, since fit, bite and appearance are developed in stages. Ask what to expect at each one.
You’re free to ask, and to describe what makes visits hard for you. Whether a particular approach would suit your situation is something to discuss with the dentist.
