Told you may lose your remaining teeth? If you live in West Kildonan and have never worn a denture, our McPhillips Street clinic can talk through implant-retained options with you.
Let's find a time
Hearing that your remaining teeth may not last can leave you with a long list of unfamiliar choices. A snap-in denture is one of them: a removable set of teeth that clips onto attachments carried by dental implants placed in the jaw.
That sits apart from a conventional denture, which relies on your tissues, its fit, saliva and muscle control to stay in place. Which of these suits you, if either, can only be judged after an examination. Asking early simply gives you longer to take the information in.
Explore snap-in dentures
You can explore these options before any decision about your teeth has been made.
Tissue-supported and implant-retained dentures stay in place in quite different ways.
Your bone, gums, bite and health history all shape the advice you receive.
Neither design is automatically the right one for a person losing teeth. Seeing how they differ makes the later conversation far easier to follow.
A conventional denture has no connection to anything beneath it, so the shape of your mouth does much of the work.
Here, implants placed in the jaw serve as anchor points once they have healed, and the denture links to them.
Whether any teeth should come out, and how that would sit alongside implants and a denture, is a clinical question for your examination.
Your own sequence depends on the teeth you still have and on your plan. In broad terms, a snap-in denture comes together in these phases.
Request your visitYour remaining teeth, gums, bone, bite and medical background are reviewed, and three-dimensional imaging helps with any implant planning.
When implants are the chosen path, they go into their planned positions and are left to integrate as your clinical plan directs.
Records capture your bite and where the teeth should sit, so the custom denture relates properly to the healed implants.
Since this is your first denture, the connecting visit matters. Retention gets adjusted, pressure areas are checked and you are shown how to take it out.
You may not remember every term someone used about your teeth, and that is fine. Share what you recall, along with what is worrying you most about life with a denture.
A short written list of questions can help if you expect the discussion to feel like a lot to absorb.
A blue bench and chairs in our waiting area.
Moving toward a denture can be an emotional step as well as a dental one. You are free to say so, and to ask for anything to be explained again in simpler terms.
If appearance is on your mind, raise it, as the denture is shaped with your smile in mind.
Surgery, tooth removal or simply the unknown are all fair things to bring up.
Nobody expects a person new to this to absorb all of it during a single conversation.
A skill you will learn
People who have never worn one tend to wonder how the daily care works. You would be shown the technique and the tools suited to your appliance, implants and gums.
Removal, cleaning and eating all take some adapting, so start with the guidance you were given.
The appliance, its housings, the implants and your gums each get cleaned once a day.
A snap that feels weaker, trapped food or trouble getting it out should prompt a call to us.

That depends on your teeth, your bone and the plan worked out after your assessment. Ask what the order of treatment would look like in your particular case.
There is no answer that applies to everyone, because it turns on the condition of the teeth you have. An examination comes first, then the sequence can be discussed with you.
It tends to resist lifting and sliding better, yet you would still be learning to speak, chew and care for a removable appliance. Adapting takes place either way.
Each appliance is shaped around your bite, smile and supporting tissues, and tooth position is part of the record taking. Share how you would like it to look, and ask what is realistic.
Tooth removal, implants and conventional dentures can each come up when someone begins this process.
