Darrell, I had a nerve transplanted to my mouth and after rad, was told I would need to wait six months to put any dentures on it. As it turned out, I lost the rest of my teeth before then, so went with the implants after 30 hyperbaric oxygen treatments. I did not have any involvement of the jaw bone, which may have made a difference. This just proves there are as many different opinions as there are patients. Good luck!
