    That is the beauty of partials. You have other teeth to anchor to and don't have to depend on suction or have implants. I wish I could afford implants for the top but $30k is out of my dental budget. I found it doesn't pay to go to a place offering discount implants. They don't last and having them replaced is very expensive and unpleasant. It usually involves bone grafting.

    I'm not sure what they're called but the dentures that I have incorporates all of the remaining teeth that I have on the bottom, which is most of them but adds fake teeth for those that are missing. They fit over my remaining teeth, which also serve to hold them in without the need for pastes or glues. Although it is hard getting used to them, particularly when it comes to eating, they are not particularly uncomfortable, except that they press against the base of my tongue on both sides, but I think that's something I'll be able to get used to. There is a slight reduction in my ability to taste stuff, however, and sometimes I have to take them out if only to assure myself that I don't have Dr. Fauci's COVID.

    I am not missing very many upper teeth, but I will be getting the same thing for the upper teeth that I am missing next year, since these exhausted the limits of the dental portion of my Advantage Plan for this year.

    If you knew that then why don't you eat them raw?

    I have upper and lower dentures held in place with Fixodent. Crispy bacon pieces sure taste good but are irksome for denture wearers.
