A denture that keeps breaking makes you wonder what to do next: another repair, or something different? Transcona residents can bring theirs to our clinic on McPhillips Street in Winnipeg and ask where it stands.
Let's find a time
Each repair solves the immediate problem without explaining why the appliance failed. Before thinking about implants, it helps to find out whether the denture itself is simply worn or whether something about your bite or fit is contributing. That is worth checking, whichever treatment you end up choosing.
A denture’s strength also bears directly on one common hope, which is converting what you already wear. Adding attachments to an appliance only makes sense if it is sound enough for the job, and one with a history of breaks may well point toward making a new denture instead.

Have the fit and bite looked at, so a new design does not inherit an old problem.
A denture with several repairs may or may not be a good base for attachments.
Repair, a new conventional denture and implant retention each suit different situations.
Which of these fits depends on what examination reveals. Two of them need no surgery at all, and that deserves to be part of your thinking.
A repair can be a reasonable answer in some cases, and it may also serve as a stopgap while you decide.
Starting fresh could mean a new conventional denture or, if you are suitable, one built to connect with implants.
Breakage alone does not make anyone a candidate for implants. That depends on a full assessment.
Implant count, timing and any reuse of your present denture are all set during your individual planning.
Request your visitThe dentist reviews your denture’s repairs, your bite, bone and gums, along with health history, smoking and how well you manage fine hand movements.
Three-dimensional imaging and restorative goals inform implant location and attachments, and any forces behind the earlier breaks can be taken into account.
Implants placed in the jaw are allowed to integrate according to your clinical plan, and connection waits until that has happened.
Records relate your teeth and bite to the healed implants. After connection, retention is set, sore areas are checked and removal is taught.
Where a denture has broken and how often can be revealing. Bring whatever you know, along with the denture itself, even if it looks rough.
Be sure to mention any home repairs you have tried, since they can affect how the appliance is assessed.
A rug on a wood floor in front of a pale counter and frosted glass doors.
Appliances wear down, and people do what they can to keep them going. Showing up with a denture held together by past fixes simply gives the dentist useful evidence of what has been happening.
If you fear a break at a bad moment, say so, because that shapes which option you prefer.
Find out whether anything needs prompt attention, and which decisions can take a bit longer.
Fees depend on the plan, so ask how repair, replacement and implant routes each compare.
Preventing the next crack
Connecting a denture to implants does not make it indestructible. Regular examinations look at the denture along with its attachments, implants, gums and bite, which is your chance to catch a change early.
Removing it as demonstrated, without twisting or forcing, also protects the attachment areas.
Each day, use the tools you were shown on denture, housings, implants and gum tissue.
Phone the clinic if you spot a crack, or if the denture begins moving or snapping differently.
If a broken denture or another concern feels urgent, telephone the clinic instead of sending the form.

Helpful details about snap-in dentures in Transcona.
Ask our teamPossibly, but do not assume so. Its strength, fit, bite and tooth position all have to be suitable, and a record of repeated breaks may mean a new denture is the sounder base.
That pattern is worth investigating. The dentist can examine your denture, fit and bite, and explain what may be behind it. Keep track of where the breaks happen, as that detail can help.
No one can promise that. Attachments are meant to improve retention, and they do not make the appliance unbreakable. Ask how your bite and the denture’s design would be considered in planning.
Sometimes a repair is perfectly reasonable, particularly while you are weighing other options. An examination can show whether the denture is still a good candidate for it.
Call the clinic and describe what happened, then keep all the pieces so that they can be seen. It is better to phone than to rely on the form in that situation.
