My return appointment is scheduled for Feb 7 for bite adjustment on the new plate. I have also asked to have the missing teeth put on the other plate. I figure if one irritates in one place maby the other will iriate in a different one. I can then switch off between the two. I am looking forward to not scaring kids.

I priced implants. For the upper ones it would run somewhere about $4000 per implant (they want to lift the sinuses). I had tried one implant in my lower jaw several years ago between two lower teeth. It didn't take and was just absorbed. Moreover, this runs far outside my current budget. Any surgery designed to improve the fit of dentures is not covered at all. I think at this time having two at least semi functional plates I stand a running chance of being able to wear them one at a time.

Thanks Bryanna, I really appreciate your imput.
