You need to see a maxillofacial prosthodontist that preferably also specializes in patients who have had cancer. I had my 16 rear teeth pulled to radiation. I now have two partials. They capped my 4 eye teeth(insisors?) and there is a ball and pin snap device on the back of each cap that the partials snap into. There are quite comfortable and have the advantage of starting my saliva production when I pop them in in the morning. You're not supposed to wear them to bed. He would like me ot get implants, but thus far, I am happy with these for the last 6 years. As to kissing, nothing has changed for me and hubby hasn't said anything.

Took me four prosthodontists before I found one who would even consider making me teeth and he didn't think it was any problem, but he deals with complicated cancer cases as his stock in trade. So don't give up, you just need to find the right guy.

Take care,
