This is the appointment where your opinion counts most. At our McPhillips Street clinic, you can look the trial denture over, say some words and bite down, then tell us what you think before it’s processed.
Let's find a time
Many patients sit through a try-in politely, unsure whether they’re allowed to have an opinion. You are. It’s the stage set aside for evaluating tooth position, your smile, how you speak and how your teeth come together, while the denture hasn’t yet been processed.
You’re the one who’ll wear these teeth every day, so what you notice matters. Something that seems minor, like a word that sounds off or teeth that look too prominent, is much better raised now than wondered about later.
Explore dentures
Take a real look in the mirror, including while you’re talking and smiling, not only at rest.
A few spoken sentences can reveal sounds that the new contours are making harder.
Notice how your teeth meet when you bite, and say so if the contact seems uneven.
The same broad questions apply to both types of denture, but each one directs your attention to something a little different.
Because it replaces a full arch and rests on your tissues and jaw shape, this trial gives an impression of your whole smile and how your lips sit.
Here the replacement teeth sit beside your own, which also provide planned support and retention. The eye naturally compares the two.
A trial shows you a lot, but you’ll still need some time to adapt to the finished denture, and adjustments often follow delivery.
Your try-in draws on what was recorded earlier, and whatever it settles carries through to the denture you take home.
Request your visitThe dentist has already assessed tissues, remaining teeth, jaw relationship and existing appliances to guide the design.
Impressions or scans, plus details of how your jaws meet, supply what’s needed to set up a trial.
You and the dentist evaluate tooth position, smile, speech and bite together, and any concerns can be discussed before processing.
When the finished denture arrives, pressure areas, retention and function are examined, and your next steps are planned.
Knowing what you’d like makes it far easier to explain your reaction. It doesn’t have to be technical, as plain descriptions work fine.
If you want to know how long the try-in will take or have a question about costs, it’s easy to ask when you confirm the visit.
A consultation room and the front desk.
If something doesn’t seem right, simply describe it. You don’t need to know how to fix it, and the dentist can tell you what’s possible.
Your first reaction to seeing different teeth may be surprise, so give yourself a moment before you decide what you think.
A second look after talking or smiling might show you something the first one didn’t.
Vague comments still help. Something like too big, too white or too far forward gives the dentist a place to begin.
After the trial
Your try-in tests how the denture looks and sounds in the chair. Daily life tests the rest, which is why follow-up continues after you’ve received it.
Speaking, chewing and saliva can all feel temporarily different when you begin wearing the finished denture.
Pressure spots and movement during meals become clearer with use, so tell the clinic rather than making changes yourself.
An appropriate brush and cleanser are for the appliance, and your gums, tongue and any remaining teeth need their own cleaning.
Thought of something after you’ve left the try-in? Phone the clinic promptly and let them know.

Ask our teamIt’s a trial stage held before the denture is processed. You and the dentist evaluate how the tooth position, smile, speech and bite are working.
Please raise anything you notice. The stage exists to catch these things, and the dentist can explain what could be changed and why.
Say so at the appointment, using your own words. Even a rough description helps the dentist understand your reaction and discuss the options.
Yes, speech is one of the things this stage evaluates. Try saying a few of the phrases you use most and mention any sounds that feel difficult.
Not necessarily, as new dentures can feel unfamiliar before they feel routine. Pressure areas and function are checked at delivery, and adjustments can follow.
