Living with a partial denture
Periodontics for Wolseley Residents
A partial fills a space, and it also relies on the natural teeth and gums around it. If you live in Wolseley and wear one, those supporting tissues are worth keeping an eye on.

The teeth doing the holding
A partial is only as steady as what it rests on.
Clasps and edges create corners where plaque can gather, particularly on the teeth that hold the appliance in place. Those teeth also have work to do with every bite. If the gums around them become inflamed or their bone support shrinks, a partial that once sat well may begin to feel loose or leave sore spots.
Wolseley is an area in Winnipeg, and residents who wear a partial can have the fit and the surrounding gums looked at together on McPhillips Street, at our clinic. A loose appliance does not always point to gum disease, since the shape of the mouth can change over time. An examination helps separate one reason from another.

Clasp teeth
Natural teeth that anchor a partial can collect plaque at the contact points, so they merit extra attention when cleaning.
Pressure on the tissue
Rubbing or tender patches under the appliance deserve to be mentioned, because they may be telling you something about its fit.
A clean appliance
Taking it out to clean both the denture and your mouth beneath it helps keep plaque from sitting against the gums.

Ask our teamWhy has my partial started to feel loose?
Many things can loosen one, including wear of the appliance, changes in the ridge under it, and movement of the teeth that hold it. Reduced gum support is one possibility, so an examination is sensible.
Can a partial denture cause gum disease?
The appliance does not cause it alone. Plaque is central to inflammation, and a partial can give plaque more places to settle if cleaning is difficult. Good daily care and regular checks help.
Should I sleep with it in?
Ask for advice on your particular appliance. It is reasonable to want to give tissues some rest, and your dental team can explain what they would suggest for your mouth.
Do I still need gum measurements with so few teeth?
Yes, the teeth you still have are carrying important responsibilities. Knowing their support helps with decisions about both your gums and the partial itself.
Could my partial still work if a clasp tooth is lost?
That would depend on your findings and the design of your appliance. Some partials can be adapted, while others may need rethinking. Talk through the possibilities with the dentist well before any decision.
How can a Wolseley resident set up a visit?
Send the appointment form or call (204) 338-3003, and mention your partial denture. Use the phone if something is urgent, such as rapid swelling.
