Subject: [Harp-L] Teeth implants

[EGS1217@xxxxxxx]

Implants, if there's no specific reason why the person HAS to have his/her  
teeth removed and there's sufficient bone for an implant to hold.  
 
Dentures used to be commonplace...aren't so much anymore, even for older  
people except in extreme cases or when the implants are financially  
impossible.  If one can afford to save a tooth or have an implant  instead, try. 
There's no going back from dentures.  My dad had them at a  fairly young age 
(our family being poor and Scottish health care not being  optimum) 
...regretted it and was most uncomfortable for the rest of his  life.
 
Anecdotally..I'd had an upper molar pulled - was forced to wait a  good 
year until the bone graft 'took' before the implant could be done  and the 
space did affect my playing (pucker embouchure).  Now  I'm having the rest of my 
dental work done and already see the improvement  with just a temp cap in 
place.  I've had to make minor adjustments while  the work is ongoing.

Twice in one week!  Remember my dentures student?  I have  another
student who has been playing a while who is either going to  get
implants or dentures.  Harmonica wise, what would you  choose?
Thanks,
