For anyone who wears a denture every day, the big worry about a repair is being left without teeth. If you’re coming from Middlechurch, ask our McPhillips Street clinic about it before your trip into Winnipeg.
Let's find a time
It’s hard to think calmly about a repair if you’re picturing a stretch of time without your teeth. How long that might be isn’t something anyone can say from a distance. Some repairs may be possible quickly, while others call for more time or new records, and the appliance and tissues must be looked at first.
What you can do is ask plainly, ahead of time. Middlechurch is outside the City of Winnipeg, so you’ll want to know what a visit could mean before you set out, including whether you might leave the clinic on McPhillips Street without your denture.

“Will I have my denture with me when I leave?” is a perfectly good question.
The complete piece and its fragments help decide what’s possible for it.
Your plans for the rest of that day may depend on what the assessment finds.
There isn’t a single answer because repairs differ widely. Your dentist has to see the appliance and your mouth before explaining which of these applies to you.
Damage comes in many forms, and each may call for a different response from the clinic.
Your mouth may have changed since the denture was made, which can affect the right next step.
An adjustment, repair and replacement are all possible outcomes, and they’re very different in terms of time. Ask which is likely after your dentist has had a look, and not before.
This outline is for damage or poor fit in a denture or appliance. Your own appointment will depend on what’s been brought in and what your dentist finds.
Request your visitPhone to explain what happened. Ask what to bring and how to plan your day, in case you’re not going home with the piece.
Your dentist looks at the appliance and the supporting tissues, because both help determine what’s appropriate.
You’ll learn whether adjustment, repair or replacement makes sense. This is when to ask about time apart from your denture.
Once work has been done, the piece is checked in your mouth for fit, bite and comfort, and for how you’re speaking with it.
Nothing here makes a repair certain or quick. It simply gives your dentist the most to work with, and leaves you less likely to be caught off guard.
If you have an older denture tucked away, mention it to the clinic and ask whether it’s worth bringing along.
An office with a white table and shaded window, and a small seating area with a plant.
Plenty of people feel self-conscious about being seen without their teeth, and it can stop them from calling. You’re welcome to raise this with the clinic straight away, and to say how you feel about it.
Your worry about being without teeth is useful information when discussing the plan.
A phone call before your visit lets you bring it up in your own way.
A long-tolerated poor fit is worth mentioning, however long it’s been going on.
After a repair or a remake
A repaired or replacement piece may feel different from the one you knew, even when it’s doing its job. New contact points can appear as you speak and chew, and that’s often addressed with an adjustment.
Give the clinic a call if something catches or rubs. Prompt adjustments can help with comfort and protect your tissues.
Notice which sounds are awkward, and let your dentist know. It’s a fair concern to bring up after any change to a denture.
Repeated breaks are worth mentioning, since your dentist can then consider the fit and the bite as well as the break itself.
If you’d like to discuss what to do the next time something breaks, that’s a good question for your follow-up.

Ask our teamRing (204) 338-3003 and explain what’s happened, or send the form if the matter can wait. Assessments happen at Unit 5, 2358 McPhillips Street, Winnipeg, MB R2V 4J6, at a time set by the clinic.
That depends on what’s wrong with it and what the repair involves. A firm answer has to wait for an assessment, but ask about it on the phone as well, so you can plan your day.
Put this question to your dentist once your situation has been assessed. Options depend on your mouth and the piece in question, and no one can promise anything until they’ve seen both.
Ask the clinic about that first. Your mouth may have changed since the older piece was made, so it may not fit as it did, and soreness is worth reporting.
Tell the clinic what you used and when, and bring the denture with you. Household adhesive can affect materials and fit, so it’s important that your dentist knows about it when assessing what can be done.
A replacement involves its own records and fabrication, and that sequence is different from a repair. Ask your dentist to explain how it’d work for you, including what you’d wear during that time.
If a repair turns into a conversation about replacing what you wear, these pages offer useful background. Your dentist can tell you what applies to you after an assessment.
