Could my denture be checked for conversion if I live in Garden City?+
Yes, request an assessment through the form or call (204) 338-3003, and bring the denture with you to Unit 5, 2358 McPhillips Street, Winnipeg. The clinic will confirm your visit.
What makes a denture unsuitable for conversion?+
Problems with its fit, bite, strength or tooth position can rule it out. Any of those could undermine how the appliance works with attachments, so a new denture may then be recommended.
Do I still need implants if my denture is converted?+
Yes. The snap-in connection relies on implants placed in the jaw, and these must heal before attachment work on your denture is completed. Bone, gums and health all factor into planning them.
Would a new snap-in denture look the same as my current one?+
Tell us what you like about your existing appearance. A new denture is shaped for your bite, smile and tissues, and we can talk about how close it could come.
Is converting cheaper than getting a new denture?+
We cannot say without an assessment, because costs depend on the work your plan requires. Request an estimate once a route has been recommended, and check your insurance or CDCP coverage for those services.
