A slipping denture has more than one possible explanation. For people in Stony Mountain, who come into Winnipeg for care at our McPhillips Street clinic, understanding the cause is a useful start before thinking about implants.
Let's find a time
A conventional denture has no anchor of its own. Whether it stays put depends on the shape of your mouth, how accurately the denture fits, the saliva between denture and gum, and how well your muscles have learned to control it. A change in any of these can affect your daily experience.
Implant attachments address part of that puzzle by adding resistance to lifting and sliding. They do not make the other factors disappear, because a snap-in denture still rests partly on your tissues and still has to meet your opposing teeth properly. That is why it is worth working out what is behind your particular problem.
Explore snap-in dentures
The shape of your gums and the accuracy of the denture base both influence how it holds.
Moisture and muscle control contribute to retention, which is why experiences vary so widely.
Attachments add a mechanical connection that a tissue-supported denture does not have.
Understanding the difference helps you ask better questions, whichever kind of denture you end up with.
More than one of these may apply, and only an examination can sort them out.
A snap-in design changes how the appliance stays in place, within certain limits.
Implants are not always the answer to movement. Your assessment can show whether they are appropriate and what else may need addressing.
Should implant retention prove suitable, your plan would set the number of implants and the timing, and show whether your existing denture could be used.
Request your visitYour denture, gums, bite and health history are reviewed, and describing exactly when it shifts can give the dentist valuable clues.
Imaging shows what support is available. It is combined with restorative goals to plan implant positions and the design of the attachments.
After surgical placement, implants need time to integrate, and your clinical plan determines how that healing stage is managed.
Records capture your bite and tooth position. The finished denture is connected, retention is adjusted and you are taught to remove it.
Clues about timing are surprisingly helpful. A denture that lifts when you open wide can suggest something different from one that tips while you chew on one side.
Ahead of a trip into the city, you could ask whether your assessment may need more than one appointment.

Plenty of people assume a slipping denture means they lack the knack. Although practice matters, conventional retention has natural limits, and some mouths present more of a challenge.
Simple facts about what happens with your denture are all the dentist needs from you.
Tell the clinic if your mouth often feels dry, as well as which medications you take.
Understanding why your denture behaves as it does can be a relief in itself.
Staying on top of it
Even a well-planned snap-in denture calls for monitoring. Inserts wear, tissues need checking and your bite deserves review, all of which regular examinations are meant to cover.
Remember how the denture felt after adjustment, so that a later change will stand out.
Since tissues still help carry the denture, keep them and the implants clean each day.
An increase in shifting is an appropriate reason to contact the clinic and ask what to do.
For a concern that seems urgent, please call the clinic and describe what is going on.

Helpful details about snap-in dentures in Stony Mountain.
Ask our teamSeveral things might have changed, including the tissues beneath it, the bite or the denture itself. An examination is the way to find out, so note roughly when you first noticed a difference.
Saliva is one of the things conventional retention relies on. Let the dentist know if your mouth often feels dry, and include all of your medications on your health list.
Not on its own. Attachments add retention, but a denture must also meet your other teeth correctly, so the bite is assessed as part of planning and adjusted as needed.
Age alone does not tell the whole story, but it is worth asking about. Bring your denture so the dentist can examine its condition, fit and tooth position directly.
Their main added hold comes from the attachments, although the denture still rests partly on your tissues. You will still need time to get used to how it feels and functions.
