When getting replacement teeth why not offer a time saving solution? Why provide the gaps in the teeth when they only can be filled with food? Instead offer a single monotooth that provides a single, smooth biting surface. It would be like regular teeth, except completely connected.
Some advantages
would be easy cleaning. With a smooth uniform surface you could use a squeegee, instead of a toothbrush. You would also be able to make perfectly circular bites in a sandwich.
(?) This fellow has one...

Why not, indeed. Outstanding idea. |
|

I want mine made out of sharpened steel. Oh, and I want a chainmail tounge protector. |

Thanks jutta! I wish halfbakery had a spell checker! |

Turtles have this feature, and you never see them at the dentist. |

It would also appear to minimize nail-biting and teeth grinding at the cost of causing enormous difficulty with corn-on-the-cob, and dealing with the manipulation of seeds such as sunflower, watermelon, cherry, etc., and small bones in meat and fish. I suppose if you were fully dentured, you could choose the set of teeth for the task. |

[zero], most regular bakers here usually use a cheap text editor or word processor, spell-check, and then copy-paste. Saves time online. |

when [angel] says outstanding, does he mean overbite? |

I'm sure Barney has regular teeth. |

Why not? Probably because it would look unnatural and stupid. |
|

The alien in "Enemy Mine" had a single dental ridge. |

//Such onetoothiasm! But how would one whistle?//
Thus finally explaining to me my peculiar disability. |

<Lauren Bacall voice> You know how to whistle, don't you? You just put your lips together and blow. </Lauren Bacall voice> |

My husband can't even watch that scene for the desire he feels for Lauren or, at least, her character. |

Amazing, because she said later that she was so stiff with Bogart fright that she had to lean against a wall (or was it a door?) to do the scene without falling over. |

This appears to have lost its buns in The Great Crash. Here's one be getting on with. Sterling idea! |
