A denture can feel fine for years and then slowly begin to shift. Old Kildonan residents who’ve noticed a change can ask what lies behind it and what might be done.
Let's find a time
You’ve probably become an expert in your own denture, so you notice when it starts behaving differently. Perhaps it lifts when you talk, or it’s no longer as secure at meals. The tissues supporting a denture can change over the years, and that alone can alter the fit.
A loosening denture isn’t something you have to manage quietly with adhesives or by avoiding foods. If you live in Old Kildonan, you can ask for it to be examined at Winnipeg North Dental on McPhillips Street. Adjustment, repair or a new denture are all possibilities, and the examination determines which fits.

Gradual changes under a denture can affect how securely it sits over the years.
Your experience of how the denture has changed is valuable clinical information.
It might be adjusted, repaired or replaced, depending on what’s found.
A denture and the mouth beneath it are assessed together, because a problem with fit could involve either one or both.
Long service can leave its mark, and damage may affect how the denture behaves in your mouth.
The tissues supporting your denture are as important as the denture itself, and they deserve a proper look.
A long history with a denture doesn’t rule out implant-supported or other options, nor does it mean they’re suitable. Ask your dentist what applies to you.
Depending on the findings, this could turn out to be a simple adjustment or the beginning of a new denture. Your dentist can explain the sequence once the examination is done.
Request your visitYour dentist looks at your current denture in place and out of your mouth, and listens to how it’s been behaving lately.
After the examination, you’ll hear whether adjustment, repair or replacement seems appropriate, and why.
A repair may need new information, and a replacement will. Scans or impressions and bite details are the likely ones.
Your dentist reviews the result for retention, comfort and speech, then adjusts the denture or returns it for more work if required.
Your dentist doesn’t know how this denture has behaved over the years unless you say. Rough dates and honest answers are enough, and no one expects perfect records.
If you have been using a repair kit or glue at home, mention it. It’s not a mark against you, and it may affect what’s possible.
The reception desk and a consultation room at our clinic.
Many long-time wearers adapt so gradually that they forget things used to be easier. If a sore spot, a slipping denture or a change in your speech has become routine for you, it’s still worth raising.
Note when your denture lifts or moves, because timing can be informative.
Point out sore spots on your gums, particularly any that keep returning.
Share which foods you’ve stopped eating because of how your denture behaves.
After your denture is sorted
Even a new or adjusted denture sits on tissues that may keep changing, so it’s sensible to stay alert. If it begins to shift again, or something rubs, you can return to the clinic with the same question.
Report it when the fit begins to change again, so your dentist can compare the denture and tissues with what was seen before.
Fresh irritation after an adjustment or a new denture is a common reason to return for another look.
Should it break, gather every piece, even very small ones, and bring them all protected and free of household adhesive.
If you’re unsure about a change in fit, a call to the clinic is a good first step.

The denture may be the same, but the supporting tissues beneath it can gradually alter in shape. This can make a once-secure denture sit differently.
No. Depending on the condition of the denture and the tissues, an adjustment or repair could be recommended instead, or new records and a new denture might make more sense.
Ask the clinic about your particular situation, and tell your dentist what you’ve been using. Never use household glue, since it can damage the material and distort the fit.
That’s a reasonable question for your dentist. Long-standing dentures can still be reviewed, and you can discuss the likely trade-offs of any change before you decide.
After your assessment, some of these treatment areas may be part of the conversation. Reading about them could give you some ideas for questions.
