Life Without A Molar
.... is not easy.
It may be up to a year before I can afford a tooth replacement, especially for what I need in my situation: an implant. I'm considering using the Marquette Dental School for a more affordable scenario. In the meantime, it will mean longer meals, cut up small.
Because this is not an option:

I highly recommend Marquette. The students do a nice job, but there's also the faculty practice clinic where the instructors keep their chops up.
Actually, it's survivable...
But yes, small-cuts are HIGHLY recc'd, particularly if you're in a high-end restaurant.
Spitting all over the tables is so....outre...
My wife used Marquette with good success. I think I will be in need of their services soon, too. :/
I will be applying on Monday to be a patient there. I hope they'll like me enough to work on the chops :)
Scotty - good tip, I will ask them about that.
My front two uppers are implants. I used a private periodontist who's an MU grad. He did a great job. It takes about 9 months to complete. Because they're the front two it took a bit of getting used to the feel of the bite.
Do it. It's well worth the money.
So... potentially two years before I have a functional tooth? I've heard it takes a long time.
My case was cosmetic as well as functional. It's tough to eat without front teeth. They gave me a temporary bridge. Two fake teeth!
The time involved was due to healing from extracting my old teeth and healing of the implants that were put into my jaw.
