I don't have dentures...but will tell you this...my dentist up north said that dentures will never take the place of what we were born with. As another poster said, our jaw-bones will deteriorate (you've seen folks like this) and the dentures will fit less and less well. So we went the dental implant route which I've never regretted. A family member who has a full-set and has had them for 40 years has issues and generally will go without them as their mouth feels better. The "look" isn't very attractive however.

I'm so sorry you're dealing with this...if I were in your shoes I'd look into that denture implant thing that other poster spoke of on here. It might be worth it in the long run.
