Depends on what age this happens LOL i would probably replace it if it happened now, and or if I could afford to LOL

unfortunately bad teeth run in my family. ive had a lot of oral surgery done. all molars on the bottom have been capped. the lower fronts are still fine thankfully.
i opted for a partial plate for the uppers though. i had really wanted the implants until i learned that like once a year they have to peel your gums back to clean the "implant" screws that go into your jawbone. and that just freaked me out lol!
i dont necessarily like the fact that i have a partial plate at 32yrs old..but is FAR BETTER than going toothless in my opinion!

I enjoy solid foods too much not to actually get dentures or an implant. I'm assuming implants cost more, but i'd prefer something a bit more stable that is permanently mine, even if not really mine.
Besides at my age if I had dentures it'd be sad... and more than a little funny.. odd how that works out. ^.^
