When teeth are removed to make way for dentures, it can feel like the end of something. It may help to view it as the first stage in a coordinated plan for how your mouth will function next.
Let's find a time
Sometimes one failing tooth is simply the most obvious sign of a wider issue. For readers in Rivergrove who are thinking about dentures, the concern usually goes beyond the removal itself to what daily life will be like afterward.
Teeth may be taken out to prepare for dentures or another coordinated replacement. The appropriate plan is based on an examination and X-rays at our McPhillips Street clinic in Winnipeg, and we can look at which teeth may be worth keeping and which may not.
Explore tooth extractions
Removal and replacement should be thought of together, rather than as two unrelated events.
A partial denture rests on teeth as well as tissue, so it can matter which teeth are kept.
Eating, speaking and how you look are fair things to raise as the plan takes shape.
There are several questions to answer before anything is removed. The answers depend on your remaining teeth, your gums and bone, and what you want.
A tooth is not removed just because others are. Each one is assessed according to its condition and role in the plan.
Removable appliances can differ in design, and some people may want to learn about implant-based choices as well.
Suitability for any type of denture, including snap-in dentures, is determined by examination and a treatment plan.
Your dentist’s approach for each tooth is shaped by its position, root shape and surrounding bone, and whether all of it is visible.
Request your visitYour health history, allergies, medication list and X-rays are checked, as well as which teeth are planned for this appointment.
The dentist uses local anesthetic and makes sure you are comfortable before removal begins.
They are loosened and removed in turn, and some may call for a small incision or sectioning.
The areas are cleaned, bleeding is managed and gauze or sutures are used as suitable. Written instructions explain how to care for them at home.
There is a lot to take in when you are thinking about dentures. It is fine to go over the plan more than once, or to bring a written list of questions with you.
Estimates matter for a plan with several stages, so ask the clinic about the cost of each part and how your insurance or CDCP details may apply.
A consultation room and our waiting area.
Your teeth are a part of how you see yourself, and a change like this can bring up strong feelings. We can talk about what concerns you, including those parts that are not strictly clinical.
Whether your focus is appearance, chewing or simply being free of a problem tooth, tell us what matters most.
Long plans are easier to follow in small pieces, so ask for the next stage to be described when you are ready.
Expect pressure rather than sharp pain with the anesthetic, and alert your dentist at once if you are uncomfortable.
Healing and adjusting
Gums heal over days to weeks, and the bone and sockets continue to change for a longer time after that. This is part of why denture timing and fit are worth discussing with your dentist.
Bite on gauze according to your instructions, select soft foods, and do not disturb the extraction areas directly when cleaning.
Smoking, vaping, straws and vigorous spitting are all off the list for the length of time your dentist specified.
Tell us about bleeding that resists directed pressure, sharply worse pain after a few days, swelling or fever, drainage, or a persistent bad taste.
For breathing or swallowing difficulties, go directly to emergency medical care.

Not necessarily. A partial denture may replace one or several teeth where others remain, and your examination shows which teeth have a realistic future.
That varies with your treatment plan, the teeth involved and your health. Ask your dentist how the removals would be arranged in your case.
They may be an option for some patients, and an examination is needed to find out if they are suitable. You can read about them on our snap-in dentures page.
Your gums and bone keep changing for some time after an extraction, which can affect how an appliance sits. Ask about fit and follow-up when you discuss timing.
