Will my mouth be recorded with an impression or a scan?+
Both are ways of recording the shape of your mouth for planning. If you’d like to know which one applies in your case, ask the clinic at your examination.
What exactly is being tried at a try-in?+
A trial arrangement lets the dentist and you check tooth position, smile, speech and bite. It comes before the denture is processed into its finished form.
Why does my bite need recording if I have no teeth?+
Your jaws still have a relationship to each other, and the finished denture teeth have to meet in a way that suits it. That record helps guide the design.
Does the shape of my tongue and cheeks matter?+
They do. The way your lips, cheeks and tongue move is part of what a denture’s design has to take into account, alongside your gums, teeth and jaw.
Is the finished denture ever changed afterward?+
Often, yes. Adjustments are a normal part of the adaptation period, and relining or replacement may be raised later if assessment shows they’re needed.
Can someone from Rosser ask to have the process explained first?+
You’re welcome to ask when you call (204) 338-3003 or send the form. The appointments themselves take place at our McPhillips Street clinic in Winnipeg.
