Be wary of any of the corporate "one stop shops" like Aspen that promise same-day extractions and dentures. Your mouth will change drastically during healing and the denture you're fitted with that day will need huge adjustments that it will likely be very difficult to use after healing and may cost you more in the long run.

If you can afford it at all, keep what you have that's salvageable. Most people have good luck with full top dentures because they use suction to stay in place, but the lower jaw is tougher. If you can retain a few bottom teeth to anchor a partial(s) to, consider doing that.

If you absolutely have to have everything extracted, implants on your lower jaw would be ideal to use as anchors. They are quite costly as you'd expect.

Best of luck to you! It's never too late to start taking care of yourself and your overall health will improve once you get this situation under control.

You give the best advice that this thread will probably offer.

But there are medical conditions, and 20,000 men and women with vaginal & hernia mesh that went into auto immune conditions. Which caused Vitamin depletion that lost teeth.

So it isn't always someone not taking care of their teeth/health.
