When a denture stops fitting
Restorative & Prosthodontics for Garden City Residents
Slipping when you talk? Sore after meals? A denture that once felt fine can change as your mouth changes, and there are several ways to respond.
Let's find a time
Request an appointment
Loose, sore or simply old
You do not have to put up with it.
Jaw and gum tissues keep changing after teeth are gone, so a good fit from years ago can drift. Garden City residents who wear dentures may notice this gradually: food getting trapped, new sore areas, a lower denture that lifts when they speak. Those changes deserve a look, even if you have no natural teeth left.
An assessment at our McPhillips Street clinic in Winnipeg can show whether an adjustment, a reline or a new appliance makes sense. For some people, implant attachments are also worth discussing, since they can reduce movement while keeping the denture removable.
Explore restorative & prosthodontics
Adjust or reline
Pressure points can be eased, and a reline may improve fit when the denture itself is still sound enough to keep.
Make a new one
Wear, damage or major tissue change can call for a fresh complete or partial denture, developed through try-ins.
Add implant retention
Snap-in attachments give added resistance to lifting and sliding, for those whose bone, health and dexterity suit them.
Beyond dentures

A denture check, step by step
Bring the appliance along.
Your existing denture is part of the assessment, so have it with you at the visit, including any older one you still keep.
Request your visit- 01
Explain what has changed
Let the clinic know whether the trouble is movement, sore spots, trapped food, speech or a crack, and roughly when you first noticed it.
- 02
Have tissues and fit reviewed
Gums, any remaining teeth, the way your jaws meet and the appliance itself are examined. Oral tissues still need attention without any teeth present.
- 03
Decide among the realistic routes
Ask how each path would feel day to day, what stages it involves and what the estimate is. Implant routes also require imaging and a healing plan.

Helpful details about restorative & prosthodontics in Garden City.
Ask our teamWhat makes a denture start to slip after years of fitting well?
Tissue changes, worn teeth, a shifted bite or damage to the appliance can each be responsible. Examining it is what points to the right remedy.
Can I fix a sore spot at home?
Please do not file or reshape the denture yourself. Sore areas are meant to be adjusted by the clinic rather than endured or altered at home.
Can my existing denture become a snap-in denture?
Sometimes. Its fit, bite, strength and tooth position must all be suitable, and in other cases a new appliance is the better route.
Do snap-in dentures stay in all the time?
No, they come out every day so you can clean the appliance, the attachments, the implants and your gums. A fixed full-arch restoration is a separate kind of treatment.
Will a new denture feel strange again?
Probably, for a while. Speech and chewing often need practice, and it can help to begin with manageable foods and read aloud.
Should I keep having checkups with no teeth of my own?
Yes. Fit, function and the health of your oral tissues still need regular review.
My denture just broke. What should I do?
Call (204) 338-3003 so you can talk about it with the clinic directly. The form is intended for routine requests and may not be seen right away.
Comfort is worth asking about
