How can a Robertson resident raise a speech concern with you?+
Mention it in your appointment request or call (204) 338-3003. Your visit would be at our 2358 McPhillips Street location in Winnipeg, on a date that the clinic confirms with you.
Will a snap-in denture make me sound the way I used to?+
No one can promise that. Added stability may raise your confidence when speaking, but your own mouth, your bite and the way you adapt will all influence how speech feels.
Why does my denture move more when I talk than when I rest?+
Muscles around your mouth are active as you speak, and they can disturb a denture held mainly by fit, saliva and tissue contact. An examination can help explain your particular pattern.
Could a change to my current denture be enough?+
That is one of the things we would check. Your denture’s fit, bite and tooth position may reveal whether something simpler should be considered before you think about implants.
Will I have to practise speaking with the new denture?+
Any new appliance can take some getting used to. Tell us how your speech is going during your adaptation, particularly if a certain sound or pressure spot keeps troubling you.
Will I need to take it out during the day?+
Daily removal is for cleaning, and when you do that can be part of your routine. Ask us about timing when your care is demonstrated, including what is advised for overnight.
