Dental implants, while expensive, would be the way to go! I have them and it's been a wonderful solution!!!!!!

I have family members who have dentures and believe me they don't replace teeth. I've seen folks not wear their "teeth" because of the discomfort (it must be bad to do this). I do know that eating is also difficult.

We once had a neighbor, now deceased, who never wore her dentures (upper and lower) unless she was going "out". So if you chatted in the yard with her, she had that horrible "look" that folks have with no teeth. It was comical in a way but I felt sorry for her.

I don't care what folks say about "if you find a 'good' dentist, you'll get a 'good' fit!!" My dentists ALL have recommended the implant way to do it. They also (for folks who've already gone this route) do implants on the back for the denture to attach to that works pretty well!!
