I had my teeth removed pre-treatment. My dentist removed all my teeth except 12 incisors. I am to see my dentist Monday the 15th about getting a rubber prosthetic device. Implants are not an option until at least 3 years after radiation treatments.
I know very little about this rubber prosthetic device but as I understand it's application it anchors like a bridge and has no full plate covering the palate.
I will let you know when I know more about he device.
