If nothing hurts and meals are going fine, a dental visit may seem pointless, especially if you’ve no teeth left. Here’s what a routine denture review looks at and why it can be useful when nothing seems wrong.
Let's find a time
It’s reasonable to feel that a working denture can be left alone. Yet the tissue and bone beneath it keep changing after teeth are lost, usually too slowly to notice from one day to the next. People also adapt without realizing it, chewing around a small change or simply getting used to it.
A review gives someone else a chance to look. For Rivercrest residents, who live outside the City of Winnipeg, that means coming to our clinic on McPhillips Street. It may be useful to ask how often this makes sense for you, so you can plan the trip around your own calendar.

Oral tissues still need review, along with signs of disease, even when your mouth has no natural teeth left.
Slow changes to the fit can be easy to miss when you’re wearing the appliance every day.
If you wear a partial, a review is also a time to think about ongoing care for your remaining teeth.
The specifics depend on what you wear and what the dentist finds, but these are the broad areas a routine assessment can address.
With tissues and jaw shape providing support, the attention falls on your gums and on how well the appliance still rests on them.
Since the appliance works with natural teeth, an examination looks at those teeth as well as the appliance resting against them.
This is a general outline. What’s actually included at your appointment can be confirmed with the clinic when you speak to them.
A review doesn’t mean something will be changed. If nothing needs attention, you still leave with a clearer picture of where things stand.
Request your visitShare how your denture has felt lately, even if your answer is just that it’s been fine.
The dentist looks at your tissues, any natural teeth, your jaw relationship and the appliance itself.
If anything has changed, adjusting, relining or replacing the denture may be discussed as options.
Ask how far off your next review should be, based on what was seen at this appointment.
You won’t need a long list. Since you’re making a trip into Winnipeg, a couple of minutes of thought beforehand can make sure small things get mentioned, and you may wish to ask how long the visit could take.
It’s fair to ask the clinic about the cost of a review when you arrange your appointment.
A treatment chair and monitor, then a desk with a blue wall behind it.
Doing well with a denture often comes from routines that have become automatic. These reminders are general, and they’re a good match for many long-time wearers.
Regular toothpaste can be abrasive for denture materials, so continue using products recommended for the appliance.
Long-time wearers can let this slide, so keep following any instructions about taking your denture out for a period.
Whenever the appliance is out of your mouth, keep it the way you were told, wherever you happen to be.
Signs to look out for
A routine schedule doesn’t have to mean waiting. Certain changes are worth raising between visits, because they can suggest the fit has moved on.
If the denture has begun shifting where it used to stay still, an assessment can identify why.
Food getting trapped where it once didn’t can point to a change in how the appliance fits your tissues.
Sore spots need adjusting by the clinic, regardless of how long your denture has been comfortable.
For pain or a damaged appliance, make a phone call to the clinic your first step rather than the form.

Ask our teamFit changes and tissue concerns aren’t always obvious to the wearer. A review looks at your gums, the appliance and how they’re working together.
No one interval suits every wearer. Ask at your next visit how often your fit and tissues should be reviewed, given what the dentist sees.
Not necessarily. If a change is needed, it could be an adjustment, a reline or a replacement, and those options would be explained after the assessment.
Yes. Getting used to something doesn’t mean it isn’t worth checking, since looseness can come from tissue changes, wear, bite changes or damage.
A partial review also takes in your remaining teeth, because they help support and retain the appliance and need ongoing care of their own.
You can write in by form or ring (204) 338-3003. Let the clinic know it’s a routine look at your denture, and ask how long to set aside for the visit.
