Re: [Harp-L] Teeth impants

[Seth Galitzer <sethgali@xxxxxxxxx>]

Nah, implants are like dentures, only permanently fixed in your mouth, 
usually with screws and other hardware.  I believe they are ultimately 
easier to live with (lower maintenance) and possibly last longer than 
dentures.  They are also more expensive.  Don't have them myself, but my 
father-in-law is a retired oral surgeon.

As for what would be "better" for your harp playing, either one will 
change the shape of your oral cavity and you'll still have to relearn 
how to play to some extent.
