Thanks for that detailed explanation. I now understand why one would use a nesbit - even though it's not good for chewing. I understand that it's probably not a good idea to choose any of the options that involve grinding the neighboring teeth.

Looking at Wikipedia it appears that a removable partial denture does not require grinding my existing teeth. Would that make it a good option in my case?
