Our Dental Laboratory for Park View Residents

Between denture and implant

Custom Work Behind an Implant-Supported Denture

Dentures come in full, partial and implant-supported removable forms. That last kind often raises the most questions, as it involves implants as well as a piece you can take out. Whether it could suit you is something only an assessment can answer.

On the custom side, it has the same demands as other dentures: retention, speech, chewing and the changing shape of supporting tissues all have to be balanced. Park View residents who’d like to explore this can talk with a dentist at Winnipeg North Dental, on McPhillips Street in Winnipeg.

It’s still removable

This form of tooth replacement comes out of the mouth, unlike a crown or bridge on implants.

It’s still custom

As with any denture, it’s prescribed for one person and made from that person’s records.

It’s not for everyone

Suitability has to be determined by your dentist after looking at your mouth.

Sorting out the terms

Implant-supported, and what else you may hear.

Several kinds of tooth replacement can involve laboratory work. Seeing how they compare may help you work out what to ask, even though only an assessment can narrow them down.

Removable tooth replacement

Dentures can be designed in several ways, depending on how many teeth need replacing and what’s supporting them.

  • A full denture stands in for every tooth in an upper or lower arch.
  • Partial dentures work around teeth you still have.
  • Implant-supported dentures involve implants and remain removable.
  • All must be balanced for speech, chewing and retention.

Fixed alternatives you may hear of

Your dentist may also mention options that aren’t meant to be taken out at home.

  • Crowns restore damaged teeth with fixed coverage.
  • Bridges are fixed replacements for selected spaces.
  • Implant restorations use components above the gumline.
  • Which option fits depends on your individual assessment.

Reading about options is a useful start, but it can’t tell you which one is appropriate. Your teeth, tissues and overall plan all count in that decision.

A likely route

From first question to first fitting.

Here’s a general way this kind of work may progress. Because implant-related care can be complex, it may take more planning or fitting visits than a simpler case.

Request your visit
  1. 01

    Exploring whether it fits

    Your dentist assesses your needs, explains which options seem suitable, and can answer your questions about implant support and removable teeth.

  2. 02

    Collecting the details

    Records may include scans or impressions, bite information, shade and photographs. These describe how the denture needs to fit, function and look.

  3. 03

    Producing the denture

    The denture is made according to the prescription, drawn from your clinical records. A trial stage or a further record may be useful in some cases.

  4. 04

    Trying and adjusting

    Fit, bite, comfort, appearance and function are all reviewed. Your dentist makes adjustments, or returns it for refinement when more work is called for.

Ahead of a first talk

Think about what you want from your teeth.

A clear sense of your own priorities makes the options easier to compare. Perhaps you care most about eating, about stability, or about how easy daily care would be.

It’s worth asking about estimated costs and appointment length at the start, since involved treatment can stretch over several stages.

Useful to bring or mention

  • Any denture you wear now, even if you don’t like it.
  • What frustrates you about your current teeth or appliance.
  • Your health history and a current list of medications.
  • Details of any insurance or CDCP plan that applies to you.

Adjusting to something new

A learning curve is nothing to be embarrassed about.

Eating and talking with removable teeth can take some getting used to. Your dentist needs to hear where something rubs, catches, or changes your speech, so please don’t just put up with it.

Ask how it comes out

Taking the denture in and out should be explained, so ask to see it if you’re unsure.

Report any sounds

If particular words have changed since you got the denture, it’s fair to mention that.

Say where it presses

A specific area of pressure is good information for your dentist when evaluating the fit.

Living with it long term

Tissues change, so expect to keep checking in.

Supporting tissues can shift gradually, which is one reason dentures may need attention well after the fitting. Ask how you should look after both the denture and the area beneath.

01

New contact points

These often turn up during speech and chewing. An adjustment made in good time can help with comfort and tissue protection.

02

Changes in how it holds

If it no longer feels as secure as it did, ask to have the denture and the supporting areas looked at.

03

Breakage

Gather all of the parts, store them somewhere protected, and steer clear of household adhesive. A dentist needs to examine things before a repair is considered.

Ask our team
I’m in Park View and want to ask about implant-supported dentures. Where do I begin?

Call (204) 338-3003 or complete the appointment form, and say what you’d like to discuss. The clinic is at Unit 5, 2358 McPhillips Street, Winnipeg, MB R2V 4J6, and will contact you to confirm a time.

Can I still take out an implant-supported denture?

The implant-supported dentures described here are a removable form of tooth replacement. Your dentist can explain how a given design works and how it would be handled day to day.

Could my existing denture be used with implants?

That’s a good one to ask at an assessment. Your dentist would have to examine the denture and your mouth before saying whether it could be used or something new would be better.

Does implant support mean it will never need adjusting?

No. Adjustments are a normal part of many custom treatments, and the tissues can change with time. Do report any new rubbing or looseness so it can be assessed.

Would I get a say in how the teeth look?

Please share your preferences. Shade, surface details and photographs help convey the look that’s planned, and appearance is reviewed along with fit and function when the denture is tried in.

Curious about implant support?

An assessment is how you find out.

Park View residents can ask for a visit by form or by telephone. The clinic replies to arrange a time on McPhillips Street that suits you both.
