Moving means finding someone new to look after your mouth. If you already wear a denture, here’s what to tell a new dentist when you visit our McPhillips Street clinic.
Let's find a time
Packing up your life means leaving behind the dentist who knew your history. If you have a denture, that can leave a nagging question: who do I go to if something changes? It’s easy to put that question off until there’s an actual problem.
You needn’t arrive with a full file or perfect memory. The appliance itself tells part of the story, and an examination tells much of the rest. What you can usefully add is the background only you know, like how long you’ve worn it and how it’s been behaving lately.

Whatever you’re wearing today is the most useful thing to have with you.
Rough dates and past adjustments are fine, so don’t worry about getting everything exact.
If you think they may help, ask the clinic what it would need and how to go about it.
A short description can help when you call. These are the two basic kinds of removable denture, and the distinction is fairly easy to work out at home.
That’s the case if it replaces an entire upper or lower row, with no natural teeth left there. It gets its support from the jaw shape and tissues beneath.
That’s probably it if the appliance fills gaps between natural teeth in the same arch. Those teeth and your tissues give it planned support and retention.
It’s fine if you can’t tell at all. The dentist can identify what you have and assess how well it’s serving you.
Your new dentist may recommend keeping what you have, or may not. If a new denture is planned, expect more than one appointment, since fit, bite and appearance are shaped over stages.
Request your visitAs a new patient, your tissues, jaw relationship, remaining teeth and current appliance will all be assessed.
Next comes the impression or scan, along with a separate record showing the way your jaws meet.
Your bite, speech, smile and the positions of the teeth are evaluated in trial form, prior to processing.
Delivery includes a review of pressure areas, retention and function. Plans for your follow-up visits are made from there.
A few minutes of preparation will give your first appointment a helpful head start. None of these are requirements, so gather what you can.
Your benefits may be different from before. Ask what the clinic would need from your plan, and remember that any estimate hinges on your exam.

Your daily care can slip while life is upside down. If you’re also fitted with something new, expect speech, chewing and saliva to feel different for a time.
Pack your denture brush, cleanser and storage container somewhere you can reach them, not at the bottom of a moving box.
A rough spot during a busy stretch is still worth getting adjusted. Please don’t modify the denture at home to get by.
Should a new denture be made, begin with manageable foods, using smaller bites and both sides of your mouth.
Becoming a regular
One of the simplest things you can do for your denture is to re-establish regular dental visits. Tissue changes don’t pause for a move, after all.
Your new dentist can tell you what kind of review schedule is suitable for your mouth and your appliance.
If a denture starts to shift, catch food or cause sore areas, an assessment can show if it should be adjusted, relined or replaced.
Along with the appliance, your gums, tongue and any natural teeth need attention each day.
Have a denture problem before you’ve had a first visit? Call the clinic anyway and explain the situation.

Ask our teamIt’s sensible to do so. Oral tissues, fit, function and signs of disease still need reviewing, and having a first visit behind you is reassuring if a problem comes up.
Tell the clinic. The appliance and your exam can provide a lot of information, even if your earlier records aren’t something you’re able to get.
Changes depend on what’s found, and you can ask for the reasoning behind any recommendation. Adjustment or relining may be suggested, or nothing at all.
Call the clinic and say what’s happened. Keep any broken pieces and don’t try gluing them back together yourself.
You don’t have to bring it, but older appliances may help show what you’ve been used to. If you’ve still got one, you could ask if it’s worth bringing along.
Reach out at (204) 338-3003 or through the form, and mention that you’re new. Your appointments would be at our clinic on McPhillips Street.
