Secure Dentures with Implants
Smiles on Hudson provides implant retained dentures from its Hamilton clinic, supporting patients in Newcastle, Lake Macquarie and Port Stephens. These dentures are removable prosthetics that attach to implants surgically placed by a dentist. The implants act as anchors, helping to stabilise the denture while still allowing for easy removal. This option is generally considered for patients who require more support than a conventional denture can provide.
- Removable dentures that attach to implants
- Fittings completed after surgical healing
The process involves collaboration with a dentist for implant placement, followed by impressions and fittings at Smiles on Hudson once the implants have healed. All fabrication is completed in the onsite laboratory. To arrange an initial consultation for implant retained dentures, please call 0432 194 603.
The Process of Fitting Implant Dentures
Implant retained dentures require several stages of treatment. The first stage is implant surgery, performed by a qualified dentist or oral surgeon. Healing may take several months before the implants are ready to support a denture. Once healing is confirmed, impressions are taken to design the denture so that it attaches securely to the implants. Adjustments are made during fittings to ensure the denture functions as intended.
Smiles on Hudson completes the denture stages locally in Hamilton once implants are ready to use. To find out more about how implant retained dentures are made, or to discuss whether this option may be suitable, contact the clinic today.

FAQ
Will I be fitted with a denture while I heal from implant surgery?
Yes. While we might sometimes recommend patients avoid wearing dentures for the first couple of weeks following surgery to promote healing, you will be fitted with a temporary denture as your implants heal.
Why does fitting an implant-retained denture take so long?
An implant-retained denture is removable, and can’t be fitted while your mouth is healing from implant surgery. As a result, the process is lengthy, and much of the treatment time (3-6 months) involves your mouth healing from surgery. Once you’re healed, impressions will be taken and your dentures fitted and adjusted.
How do I clean my dentures?
It’s important to regularly remove plaque from your dentures, as unclean dentures can lead to problems such as bad breath, gum disease, tooth decay and oral thrush. Clean your dentures as often as you would your normal teeth (at least every morning and night), by:
- Brushing them with paste before soaking to remove food particles
- Soaking the dentures in a fizzy solution of denture-cleaning tablets to remove stains and bacteria—follow the manufacturer’s instructions & do not soak them overnight
- Brushing them again, as you would your normal teeth (but don’t scrub too hard)
What’s the best way to eat with dentures?
When you first start wearing dentures, you should eat soft foods cut into small pieces and chew slowly, using both sides of your mouth. Avoid chewing gum and any food that is very sticky, hard or sharp-edged. You can gradually start to eat other types of food until you are back to your old diet. Never use toothpicks.
