Some people stop wearing their denture because it is easier to go without. If that sounds familiar, Exchange District residents can ask what might be different now at our clinic on McPhillips Street in Winnipeg.
Let's find a time
Giving up on a denture usually follows a long run of small defeats: it moved when you spoke, it rubbed, it made eating harder. Leaving it out can feel like the sensible choice, even if you eat around the gap and keep your smile small. You do not have to justify that decision to anyone before asking about alternatives.
The useful question is why it failed. A denture relying on your anatomy, fit, saliva and muscle control may struggle for several reasons, and implant attachments address only some of them. Having your mouth and that neglected appliance examined can show which reasons apply, and whether adding implants is even appropriate.

However long it has sat unused, the appliance can tell the dentist something useful.
Movement, soreness and food problems can have different causes and different remedies.
Your mouth may have altered during your time without it, so a current look matters.
Attachments are good at certain things and irrelevant to others. Being clear about your reason for stopping prevents you from pursuing surgery for the wrong problem.
These complaints are related to retention, which is what implant attachments are intended to address.
Problems such as these could call for something else instead of, or as well as, implant retention.
Your reasons for stopping guide the conversation, but your suitability is established by examination.
Your unworn denture may or may not have a role, and implant numbers and timing are also determined case by case.
Request your visitAfter a look at the denture you stopped wearing, attention moves to bone, gums, bite, medical history, smoking habits and manual dexterity.
Three-dimensional imaging and your hopes for the finished teeth steer decisions about where implants could go and how they would attach.
Implants are placed and have the integration time your clinical plan specifies, ahead of anything being connected to them.
With records taken and the denture made or adapted, its retention is adjusted, pressure areas are checked and you learn how to remove it.
There is no need to wear it for days beforehand if it hurts. Just bring it in whatever condition it is in, and be ready to describe when and why it went into the drawer.
Please tell the dentist how long it has been since you regularly wore it, as this is important context.

You will not be scolded for leaving your denture out. Your choice told you something real about how well it was working, and that is exactly the kind of account a good assessment needs to hear.
An honest description of your meals without a denture helps show what you are hoping to regain.
If you question whether any appliance could work for you, ask exactly that at the outset.
An appointment to explore the idea is all that you are agreeing to when you come in.
So it stays out of the drawer
Last time, little problems probably added up in silence. With a snap-in denture, those same small signs have a clear response: tell the clinic, and let a regular examination take a look at how things are working.
A loosening grip or food getting caught no longer needs to be tolerated until you give up.
Inserts wear in everyday use, and replacing them may restore what a worn one has lost.
Daily care of denture, housings, implants and gums goes more smoothly with a set time.
Urgent worries should go to the clinic by phone and not through the request form.

Helpful details about snap-in dentures in Exchange District.
Ask our teamYes, you can certainly be assessed. Your bone, gums and bite will be examined as they are today, and that decides whether implant-retained treatment is an appropriate option.
Do not push through discomfort to prepare. Bring it with you, and let the dentist look at both your mouth and the appliance before you decide anything about wearing it.
Possibly, though it is common to need a new one. Its fit, bite, strength and tooth position would determine whether adapting it is reasonable, especially after time spent out of your mouth.
There is no certainty, and it would be wrong to promise otherwise. Pinpointing why the last denture failed gives you a better sense of whether this design addresses your own problems.
You can ask about that. Fixed full-arch restorations have a different design, cleaning routine and treatment pathway, and your assessment can help show which options may suit you.
Send the form or phone (204) 338-3003 and say your denture is no longer in use. You would be seen at 2358 McPhillips Street in Winnipeg once a time is confirmed.
