Sundance/Cindy, if you are checking the forum, I can refer you to some good dentists who work with cancer patients in Portland. Contact me if you want this info. Awaiting lower implants, I have had just an upper denture for appearance. It is truly amazing what one can eat with no teeth -- as gnelson says, just about anything. Fingers crossed, I will have bottom implant teeth by the end of the month, but I have not curtailed my social life and eat out often with just the upper denture. For those of us who had no choice about losing teeth, this is a great improvement. I was made to wait a minimum of six months post rad before anyone would even talk to me about putting anything in my mouth. Do not settle for less than functional!
