Hearing that some of your teeth may not be saved is a lot to take in. Come to our McPhillips Street clinic with your questions, and find out what a removable replacement would involve.
Let's find a time
Perhaps a dentist has mentioned that certain teeth are failing, or you’ve begun to suspect it yourself. Either way, the idea of a denture can arrive long before you feel ready for it, and it’s fair to want the facts first.
A denture isn’t chosen simply by counting what’s missing. Its design has to relate to your gums, jaw shape, bite and whichever teeth remain, along with the way your lips, cheeks and tongue move. Learning how that planning works can make the road ahead feel less uncertain.
Explore dentures
An examination tells you where your mouth stands today, and what removable options might be worth discussing.
When some natural teeth remain, a partial can use them for planned support and retention.
Records and a trial version come before the finished appliance, so nothing is rushed into its final form.
How many natural teeth an arch will keep has a large bearing on the conversation. Assessment settles which of these two removable designs is suitable for you.
A complete denture stands in for all the teeth of an upper or lower arch, resting on the underlying tissues and taking support from the shape of the jaw.
A partial denture fills in selected spaces, drawing its support and retention from the teeth you still have and the oral tissues around them.
The right answer depends on your exam, and no web page can make that call. Ask what your own findings suggest.
A denture normally takes more than a single appointment to produce. Fit, bite and appearance are worked out gradually, which gives you several chances to raise concerns.
Request your visitThe dentist looks over your tissues, your jaw relationship, the teeth that remain and any appliance you already use. This is a good moment to ask what is failing and why.
Either impressions or scans record your mouth, and a further record shows how your upper and lower jaws come together.
Before processing, a try-in lets you and the dentist review how the teeth are positioned, how your smile reads and how you speak and bite.
Your completed denture is checked for pressure areas, retention and function. Follow-up is then arranged so adjustments can be made as your mouth adapts.
If another dentist has already talked to you about losing teeth, jot down what you remember, even if it’s only rough. Hearing it explained again is perfectly reasonable.
Wondering how removing teeth and making a denture would be timed? That’s a sensible question to put to the dentist at your exam.
A consultation room and the waiting area.
Worry, sadness and frustration are all common reactions to losing teeth. Saying so out loud can help the appointment focus on what matters most to you, whether that’s eating, speaking or how you look.
Tell us whether chewing, your speech or your appearance is weighing on you, since each one shapes the discussion.
New dentures tend to feel unfamiliar before they become routine, and most people’s speech and chewing change for a while.
This is a lot of new vocabulary at once, so please stop us whenever an explanation hasn’t landed.
Looking past the first denture
A new denture begins a longer relationship with your mouth. Tissue keeps changing after teeth are lost, so what fits at the start may later need attention.
Sore spots should come back to the dentist for adjusting. Putting up with them, or altering the appliance yourself, isn’t the answer.
Taking the denture out to brush it with a suitable cleanser becomes routine, along with cleaning your gums, tongue and any teeth you’ve kept.
Even without natural teeth, your oral tissues and the fit of your appliance still need reviewing from time to time.
Something still on your mind after an appointment? A quick call to the clinic is welcome.

Helpful details about dentures in West Kildonan.
Ask our teamThat can only be answered by examining them. Ask what the dentist sees in each tooth, what the alternatives are, and how a denture would compare.
It varies from mouth to mouth. Healthy remaining teeth can support and retain a partial, though they need looking after, and the assessment considers whether that’s suitable for you.
The sequence depends on your treatment, so please raise it at your exam. Knowing what to expect ahead of time makes planning your daily life easier.
No, and it’s worth knowing that going in. Chewing can improve with them, though they don’t exactly reproduce natural teeth, and technique tends to develop with practice.
Implants, bridges and implant-retained snap-in dentures are other approaches you may hear about. Which ones make sense for you would be decided by assessment.
