A first denture
Restorative & Prosthodontics for Mandalay West Residents
The idea of wearing a denture can feel like a big step, and it is natural to wonder about eating, speaking and how you will look. Here is what the process tends to involve.
Let's find a time
Request an appointment
New to removable teeth
Nobody expects you to know how this works yet.
Perhaps several teeth have been lost, or you have been told the remaining ones may not last. If you are in Mandalay West, in Winnipeg, and a denture has entered the conversation for the first time, it helps to know that one is shaped around your gums, jaw, remaining teeth and the way your lips, cheeks and tongue move.
A complete denture replaces a full upper or lower arch. A partial replaces selected teeth and takes support from those you still have, along with the tissues around them. Fit, bite and appearance are worked out over more than one appointment at our McPhillips Street clinic, with room for try-ins and follow-up changes.
Explore restorative & prosthodontics
You see it first
Tooth position, smile, speech and bite are evaluated at a try-in before the denture is processed.
Learning takes a while
Speech, chewing and saliva often change for a time, and practice plays a real part in getting comfortable.
Sore spots get adjusted
Pressure areas are for the clinic to correct, so do not put up with them or try altering the appliance yourself.

What a Mandalay West patient may wish to compare

How a denture gets made
Built in stages, with you in the room.
Bringing any partial or older appliance you own can help, even if you no longer wear it.
Request your visit- 01
Examination
Tissues, any remaining teeth and the relationship between your jaws are assessed, and you can bring up what worries you most.
- 02
Records
Impressions or scans capture your mouth, while additional records document how your upper and lower jaws meet.
- 03
Try-in
This is your chance to speak, smile and bite with the teeth in position, so say what does and does not feel right before processing.
- 04
Delivery and fine-tuning
Retention, function and pressure areas are checked when you receive it, and follow-up is planned for the adjustments that often come next.

Your questions, answered.
Helpful details about restorative & prosthodontics in Mandalay West.
Ask our teamWill people be able to tell I am wearing a denture?
The aim is for teeth that look at home in your face, and the try-in lets you judge that. A natural look is the goal, though no one can promise how it will read to others.
How will a first denture affect the way I talk?
Some sounds may need practice while your tongue learns the new contours. Reading aloud at home is a simple way to work through it.
What should I eat in the first while?
Start with manageable foods in small bites, and chew on both sides to help keep things stable. Dentures can improve chewing but do not act exactly like natural teeth.
Should I wear my denture to bed?
Most patients are told to take it out for a period each day so the tissues can rest. Follow the guidance you receive for your own situation.
Why does the lower denture often feel less steady than the upper?
Anatomy and movement differ between the arches, so the two behave differently. If stability remains a problem, implant attachments are one option you could ask about.
How do I look after the mouth underneath?
Beyond brushing the appliance with a suitable brush and cleanser, clean your gums, tongue and any natural teeth. Store it as directed when it is out.
Can Mandalay West residents ask questions before committing to anything?
Yes. Call (204) 338-3003 or submit a request and say you are considering a first denture. Assessment and discussion are done at our Winnipeg clinic on McPhillips Street.
