Many people have faced this issue, sometimes by accident and other times by choice. Well, I made the choice to have my teeth taken out. I've had weak enamel from medications I was given when I was young. Being a mouth breather until I was 18 made trips to the DDS sheer torture. I had my front teeth removed with a bat in '82, not willingly, but that's a whole other story.
Yesterday I had the uppers removed and a new denture in by the time I left. Overall not as traumatic as I expected but I'm having to learn to eat again. I also am having trouble talking. Not used to having molers (still don't have any on bottom). The lower partial will be done in two weeks so hopefully I'll transition to my normal eating machine by then. Should have done this 25 years ago.
