Snap-in Dentures for Rosser Residents

Perhaps implants were ruled out for you at some point, or you came away with the impression they were. People in Rosser, a community outside the City of Winnipeg, can ask about their situation today at our McPhillips Street clinic.

Let's find a time

Request an appointment

We’ll call to confirm your appointment. For urgent care, please call us directly.

An earlier answer

Understanding Why You Heard No

A past conversation about implants may have ended without much explanation. It helps to find out what the concern actually was. Was it the amount of bone, the state of your gums, a health condition, smoking or the denture itself? Each of those is a different kind of obstacle.

An assessment here cannot promise a different answer, and the same reason may well still apply. What it can do is look at your present bone, gums, health and bite, then explain the finding in terms you can follow. Clarity has value even if the conclusion stays the same.

Many factors, not one

Suitability rests on several things considered together, including health history and dexterity.

Bring what you recall

Even a rough memory of the earlier reasoning gives the dentist something useful to explore.

Either answer helps

A clear yes or no lets you stop wondering and start comparing your actual options.

What gets considered

The factors behind a yes or a no.

Some of these describe your mouth and others describe your overall health and daily life. They are weighed as a whole instead of being scored one at a time.

In the mouth

Implants need suitable support, and the denture has to work with your existing anatomy.

  • How much bone is available for implants.
  • Whether the gums are healthy.
  • How your upper and lower teeth meet.
  • The condition of any denture you already own.

Beyond the mouth

A complete picture includes things that may seem unrelated to dentistry at first glance.

  • The conditions you live with and what you take for them.
  • Whether you smoke.
  • How easily your hands manage small tasks.
  • What you hope the treatment would change.

Please do not treat this list as a self-test. Only an assessment can tell you where you stand.

Looking again

How a fresh look would unfold.

If implant treatment does turn out to be possible, the number of implants and the timeline would be set by your plan.

Request your visit
  1. 01

    Explain your history

    Share what you were told and roughly when, then let the dentist carry out a clinical and medical assessment of how things are today.

  2. 02

    See beneath the surface

    Three-dimensional imaging is part of implant planning, because a visual check of your mouth cannot show the bone the implants would rely on.

  3. 03

    Talk through the finding

    If treatment is reasonable, expect a discussion of surgery, healing and maintenance. If it is not, ask what else could be done about your denture.

  4. 04

    If you go ahead

    Implants heal first, the denture is then made or adapted to them, and the retention gets adjusted while you practise taking it out.

Dig up the details

Piece together what happened last time.

You need not have perfect notes. A few remembered facts can save a lot of guesswork, especially if your health or habits have changed since that earlier conversation.

Coming in from outside Winnipeg? When you request a visit, you could ask how long an assessment generally takes and whether imaging would happen on the same trip.

Helpful to gather

  • The reason you remember being given, in your own words.
  • Any imaging or records you still have or can request.
  • Changes to your health or smoking habits since then.
  • An up-to-date list of medications.

Asking again

Raising the subject twice is perfectly reasonable.

Some people feel awkward bringing up something they believe has already been decided. There is no need for that here, since all you are doing is asking about your own mouth.

No need to defend it

Your interest in revisiting the idea does not have to be justified to anyone.

Ask for plain words

If a term about bone or healing goes over your head, stop and request an explanation.

Prepare for either result

Decide ahead of time what you would like to explore if implants are still not advisable.

If the answer changes

A yes brings its own responsibilities.

Getting implants is not the end of the matter. They, your gums and the denture all stay under regular review, and the inserts inside the denture wear down gradually with use.

01

A routine each day

Implants and attachment housings join the denture and gums on your cleaning list.

02

Trips into the city

Find out what ongoing appointments might look like, and whether that seems workable for you.

03

Reasons to phone

A looser snap, new food trapping or a denture that resists coming out should prompt a call.

For anything urgent, ring the clinic instead of filling in the request form.

Helpful details about snap-in dentures in Rosser.

Ask our team
Does being turned down once mean implants are out for good?

Not necessarily, though it may. Much depends on why the concern arose and whether anything relevant has changed. Only a current assessment can address your present situation.

Do I need my old records for the appointment?

They are not something to hold off for, but they can be helpful. Ask your previous office what is available, and let the clinic know what you have managed to find.

If I have lost bone, is the matter closed?

The amount of bone matters a great deal, and imaging helps show what is there. Ask the dentist to explain what your images mean for implant placement and what your other options may be.

Can a health condition rule out a snap-in denture?

Medical history is one of the things that affects suitability. Describe your conditions and medications fully, so the dentist can tell you how they bear on your particular case.

What else could help if implants stay off the table?

Ask what could be done about the denture you wear, or whether a new conventional one is worth considering. Its fit and bite can both be reviewed even if implants are not advisable.

How do Rosser residents request a new look at this?

Call (204) 338-3003 or send the form, and explain that you were previously told implants might not work. The clinic then arranges a time at 2358 McPhillips Street in Winnipeg.
