How can a Meadow Land resident bring this up without feeling awkward?+
You can simply write that your denture is affecting your confidence, using the form on this page, or say so by phone at (204) 338-3003. Your visit would be at 2358 McPhillips Street in Winnipeg.
Could it still shift when I am out with people?+
Added retention can reduce movement, although it is hard to predict exactly how a denture will behave for you. Fit, support, your bite and worn inserts can all play a role.
Will I feel confident laughing again?+
Some people gain confidence once a denture moves less, but no one can promise how you will feel. The dentist can tell you what the mechanics may change in your own case.
Is there a way to help with this while I wait for a decision?+
Ask about your current denture at the assessment. Sometimes the fit can be looked at separately, and the dentist can explain what might be done with it during the planning period.
Do I have to explain to people that I wear a denture?+
That is entirely your choice. The denture is a personal matter, and it can come out for cleaning at home, following the routine that you are shown at your appointment.
