On the top. I have none on the bottom. I want to get complete implants. I am not a Rockefeller so that is not going to happen. I tried to get dentures while I was on state assistance but I have lost a few more teeth since then and now they are useless to me.

It is up to you. Molars cannot be easily seen and therefore I doubt you would have to deal with what I have been dealing with. Since I am down almost half of my teeth, it plays a big part in how people interact with me. I am seen as less 'engage-able' I guess.

Mainly because people are too programmed with things like the 'Greek Ideal'.
