Tippon, that was a bad saga, though I am not sure where it has left you. My wife lost some teeth during a bicycle accident many years ago and we paid for a fixed plate to replace the lost teeth also many years ago. She was told it should last 25 years, but so far about 40 years later it has survived countless operations, chemo, and other intense pressures.
Though I neglected my oral situation for some years I escaped quite lightly. I did need one or two quite extensive fillings, only then to find much of one of the teeth then crumbled requiring a furthe intervention and a couple of painless root canal jobs but so far all are still present and correct though a couple have been painlessly capped.
