You may prefer to exhaust the simple remedies before agreeing to surgery. Wolseley residents who think that way can ask for the full ladder of options at our clinic on McPhillips Street in Winnipeg.
Let's find a time
Implant placement is a real procedure with a healing phase and a lasting commitment to upkeep. It makes sense to want to know what else might work first. For some mouths, a simpler measure may address a good share of the problem. For others, those measures have already reached their limits.
This page is for the person who would like to see the options laid out in order, from least to most involved. That sequence is not a formal treatment protocol, and every step may not apply to you. It is a way of having the conversation, and of learning where a snap-in denture sits among the alternatives.
Explore snap-in dentures
Ask what could be tried or changed before any talk of placing implants.
Simple measures have boundaries, and it helps to know where yours are likely to fall.
A snap-in denture is one possibility, and you may decide that you do not need it.
Whether each option is available depends on examination. Think of this as a guide for your questions, and not as a set of steps you must climb.
These options do not involve placing implants, though each one still relies mainly on your tissues and fit.
Here surgery and a healing period come into play, and so do additional maintenance commitments over time.
The right rung for you, if any, depends on your assessment and your own preferences.
Plans differ in implant number, timing and whether a present denture can be used.
Request your visitAsk what may be possible short of surgery, while bone, gums, bite, health history, smoking, dexterity and your denture are being evaluated.
Three-dimensional imaging and restorative aims shape potential implant positions and attachments, giving you specifics to consider before going ahead.
If you decide to proceed, implants go into the jaw and then spend the time in your clinical plan integrating.
Records establish how your bite and teeth relate to the implants. When it connects, retention and pressure areas are refined and removal is taught.
Knowing which remedies have worked, or failed, means you do not cover old ground. It also shows the dentist where on the ladder your conversation should begin.
If you strongly prefer to avoid surgery, please state this at the outset so that the conversation reflects it.
Office chairs around a white table beside a tall window with a banded shade.
You are entitled to prefer a lighter touch, and to ask why anything more would be suggested. A good discussion leaves room for your values alongside the clinical findings, and you can decline a recommendation.
When something is suggested, ask what it is expected to achieve that a simpler step would not.
Find out what continuing with your present denture would mean in your specific situation.
You may want a second conversation after considering the choices you have heard about.
Counting the long-term effort
If you do end up with implants, they add daily cleaning and ongoing examinations to your life. Considering that before deciding helps you judge whether the added stability is worth it for you.
Implants and housings sit alongside your gums and denture on the daily list of jobs.
Retention inserts wear out over time, and their replacement varies with use and alignment.
A weak snap, trapped food, more movement or tricky removal should prompt a call.
Whichever option you pick, urgent concerns are for a phone call to the clinic and not the online form.

Helpful details about snap-in dentures in Wolseley.
Ask our teamAsk to go over that first. An examination of your denture, fit and bite can show whether a simpler measure could be worth considering before implant surgery is discussed further.
It depends on why your denture is moving. Adjustment may help some problems, but it cannot change a conventional denture’s underlying reliance on anatomy, fit, saliva and muscle control.
Not at all. For some people it is an appropriate choice, particularly if they would prefer not to have surgery. Ask how a new denture might compare to what you are wearing now.
That may be possible, though your bone, gums and health would need to be reassessed at that time. Ask how waiting could affect your own options.
There is no single answer to give without imaging. The number of implants and their design vary with your arch, bone, anatomy and goals, so ask to compare the plans that apply to you.
Let the clinic know you want to compare options, using the form or (204) 338-3003. Your appointment would take place at 2358 McPhillips Street in Winnipeg, once a time is confirmed.
