Honestly, I like false teeth better than the real things. Don't worry Josh, there is really nothing to be nervous about. Just make sure they fit properly before you leave the Dentist office. I once sneezed as I was peeing into a urinal at a local restaurant, and my loose fitting dentures flew off into the urinal.
There really are no negatives to dentures. Some of the positives are.
You can remove them to show young children. They get a real kick outa that.
You can remove them before eating thus saving the need to brush. It saves on tooth paste.
Once you have dentures, your need to go to the Dentist is much less. You save a ton of money over the years.
Tooth aches, gum disease, and pain is virtually gone.
Hope this helps!

I've had "Hockey player's teeth" for years. I second all of the above but I find saddle bit pipes work best if you're a clincher.

Frank: that was more info then we needed to know...certainly hope you just left them there but if not we don't need to hear about it! I think that old saying, "what has been seen cannot be unseen" applies here. Too bad it was a restaurant and not a bar; all the alcohol could have disinfected them for you!

johnnyreb, I cleaned them REAL good. Yes it was a bar/restaurant so I figured the alcohol would help. It's been about 3 years since that happened, and I haven't come down with any diseases, incrustations, or disabilities from that occurrence. But my wife still refuses to kiss me!!!!!
BTW Josh, I never have a problem clenching a pipe either. You'll be fine. It just takes a while to get used to them.

Interesting thread. I may be pulling the trigger in some choppers this year and I've been worried if it'd cause any issues for my pipe enjoyment.
Thanks guys. Lost most of my teeth to genetics and an industrial accident. Was wandering how denture would affect my piping.
