LaPanadera, you do not need saliva if you use the wafer things, the name of which I cannot remember at the moment. Cut with a few snips to fit, wet under the faucet, and press on. You are then good to go until you pry it off at a later time. Okay, I have the box in front of me now. Sea-Bond "All day hold, utimate fit and comfort, total confidence, no ooze or mess like pastes."

I, too, was hesitant to lose my last remaining, falling apart and dead from radiation teeth, but it worked out so well. I was being emotional instead of logical, but it was time to cut my losses, so to speak, forget about all the money spent in the past, and just take the plunge. The faux teeth look and work much better. And I never, ever have to have another root canal!
