Fixed Denture Support
Forster Implant Dentures
Implant dentures offer a secure alternative to conventional removable dentures by anchoring the appliance to surgically placed dental implants. At Twin Towns Denture Clinic in Forster, we provide implant-retained dentures designed to improve stability and comfort during daily use. These dentures connect to a fixed or removable framework supported by implants in the upper or lower jaw, helping to reduce movement and improve biting strength.
We work with patients across Forster, Tuncurry and Laurieton to plan and create implant-supported dentures that align with their oral health needs. This option is ideal for individuals seeking greater confidence when eating, speaking or smiling. We take care to ensure each denture fits precisely over the implants for long-term function.

Improved Denture Stability
Supports Jaw Structure
Removable or Fixed Options
Reliable Anchoring
Designed for Long-Term Fit
Implant dentures are customised to attach to dental implants, which act as artificial tooth roots embedded in the jawbone. The denture may be clipped onto the implants using a bar or ball-retained mechanism, or it may be permanently fixed in place, depending on your needs. This configuration improves retention and reduces the chance of the denture shifting while eating or speaking.

This treatment option is often recommended when conventional dentures are no longer providing the comfort or function required. While dental implant placement is performed externally, we ensure the denture design and fit support healing and long-term wear. Patients interested in implant dentures are encouraged to undergo a detailed consultation to assess oral structure, bone support, and suitability for this form of restoration.
FAQ
Everything You Need To Know
What are implant dentures?
Implant dentures are prosthetic devices that attach to dental implants placed in the jawbone. Unlike traditional dentures that rest on the gums, implant dentures are secured to titanium posts, offering greater stability and function. They can be either removable (snap-in) or fixed (permanently attached) depending on patient preference and clinical recommendations.
How many implants are needed for implant dentures?
The number of implants required depends on the denture type and jaw structure. Typically, two to four implants are used for a removable lower denture, while four to six may be needed for a full upper or fixed denture. The implant configuration is tailored to support optimal strength and distribution of bite forces.
Are implant dentures comfortable?
Yes, implant dentures are often more comfortable than traditional dentures because they are anchored in place and do not move during use. They help reduce gum irritation, improve chewing efficiency, and provide a more natural feel. Some patients find they adjust more easily to implant dentures due to their fixed or semi-fixed nature.
What is the process for getting implant dentures?
The process begins with a full consultation and assessment of oral health and bone structure. Implant placement is performed by a dental surgeon. Once healing is complete and the implants have integrated with the bone, impressions are taken to design a denture that fits securely onto the implants. Several appointments may be required for fitting and follow-up.
