By the way, my "hemi-maxillectomy" begins after my eye tooth on the right side and extends to include the rest of the maxilla and teeth on that side. I have lost the bone containing "only" five teeth (would have been six if the wisdom tooth had still been there.) I have also lost about 2/3 of the palate on that side, though not quite to the midline.

You said that your intermediate obturator will not have teeth. I don't know exactly why not. They might not function well..or at all....but cosmetically it seems that you could have some. Add that to your list of questions. My first one didn't have teeth either, but it had a build-up of material that simulated teeth and filled the space that teeth would have filled. This was on the side, not the front. Even if the fake teeth are not perfect or expensive, maybe he can construct that appliance to include some. I sure would ask!
