An attachment for pivotally supporting a denture in the mouth of the user in which the user has at least two spaced apart dental posts implanted therein, such posts being in the front of and one to either side of the front center of the mouth of the user, the attachment including an anchor member semi-permanently attached to the anchor posts and having a bar portion extending between the spaced apart dental posts. A denture member which conforms generally to the contour of the anchor member is engagable in proximity with the anchor member bar portion. The denture member is cast within a denture having simulated gum portions and teeth portions. The denture member has an arm for removably and pivotally interlocking the denture member with the anchor member bar portion when a denture having the denture member formed therein is in a usable position within the mouth of the user. Pivotation limiting trunnions are formed as a part of the anchor member. The trunnions serve to limit the angle of pivotation of the denture member relative to the anchor member.
