When a snap-in denture stops behaving as it did, you will want answers, not a sales pitch. Old Kildonan residents can ask our McPhillips Street clinic to take a look at what has changed.
Let's find a time
Maybe the click has gone soft. Maybe food is getting underneath or the denture has become a struggle to lift out. These are the kinds of changes worth having examined, as they can have quite different explanations and a dentist needs to see which one applies.
Sometimes the explanation may be a worn retention insert, a part that is designed to be replaced. It could also involve the bite, the fit of the denture, the gums or the implants themselves, which is why it makes sense to look at the whole arrangement rather than one component.
Explore snap-in dentures
Retention elements lose their grip gradually with ordinary use, and they can be replaced.
Looking only at the snaps may miss a concern with the implants, gums or denture.
A quick refresher on technique may be useful if removal or cleaning has become harder.
We cannot diagnose anything from a web page, but it helps to describe your symptom clearly. Each one suggests particular things to review during an examination.
All of these are good reasons to contact a dental office rather than waiting for them to pass.
An examination considers each element of the system and how they are working together.
If your denture was made elsewhere, mention that when you call, and ask what information about your components would be useful for the clinic to have.
Your appointment will depend on what is found. Some concerns can be addressed simply, while others call for more investigation or additional appointments.
Request your visitExplain what you noticed, when it began, and whether it came on gradually or all at once. Your health history is updated at this point too.
With the denture out, we examine your implants, attachments and gums. We inspect the appliance as well, and take imaging if it is clinically needed.
You hear what appears to be behind the change and what could be done, with time to ask about each suggestion before you agree to it.
When a service is carried out, retention is checked again along with any pressure areas. You can also go over your removal technique once more.
Whatever you remember about the timing is useful. A sudden change can point somewhere different from a looseness that has crept in slowly.
Unsure how to manage until your visit? Call the clinic and ask.
An examination room with a blue chair and a monitor.
After investing in treatment, you may feel disappointed or wonder if something has failed. Wear is a known feature of this design, so ask whatever is on your mind without worrying.
Tell us how the change is affecting your eating and speaking, so we can see why it matters.
Ask which findings are normal wear and which ones call for a closer look.
Before agreeing to any step, ask what it would do and whether there are other choices.
Once it is sorted out
Parts will keep wearing with use, as they are meant to. How often varies with use and alignment, so staying observant and attending examinations helps you catch the next change sooner.
Having your whole system reviewed regularly can catch concerns while they are still small.
Take it out as you were shown, avoiding any twisting or forcing at the attachment areas.
If that weak or loose feeling comes back, phone the clinic and let us know about it.
Unsure whether a change is worth a visit? A phone call can help you decide.

Please ask when you call, and mention where the work was done. Any details about the components may help the clinic tell you what to expect from an examination.
Often it may, yet that cannot be assumed. Alignment, the denture and the condition of the implants can all be involved, so the system needs to be looked at as a whole.
Avoid forcing or twisting it, since that may damage the attachment areas. Call the clinic, explain what is happening and ask how to proceed.
Food trapping is a change worth reporting, whatever the reason behind it. An examination can look at how the denture sits and whether your cleaning routine needs any changes.
Yes. These parts wear with use, and they are designed to be maintained or replaced. How frequently depends on factors such as your use of the denture and its alignment.
An examination can sometimes point to a need beyond the attachments. These pages describe some of the possibilities.
