Can I get all my denture work done in one appointment?+
More than one appointment is normally needed, because the fit, bite and appearance are developed in stages rather than all at once.
Which appointment is the most important one to keep?+
They all build on each other. The try-in deserves special attention, though, because it’s when you can comment on how the denture looks, sounds and bites before it’s processed.
What if I can’t get to a follow-up right away?+
Let the clinic know and ask how to rearrange it. If you’re dealing with a sore area, say so when you call, because altering the denture at home isn’t recommended.
Will a new denture affect how I sound at work?+
It could for a while, since speech often changes temporarily and some sounds take practice. Reading aloud beforehand can help, and speech is also evaluated at the try-in.
How long is each appointment going to take?+
This varies with the stage and your situation, so ask the clinic about it when you book. They can tell you what to expect for that visit.
Can Robertson patients ask about scheduling before booking?+
Certainly. Call (204) 338-3003 and ask about visit lengths for denture care at our McPhillips Street clinic in Winnipeg, or include the question on the form.
