I've gotten to a point that I dont know what to do with my teeth. They are so
bad that I need teeth pulled, root canals, crowns and U/L partials. I've seen
3 dentists that all tell me different things. I cant afford to have any of
this done so I think I should have them all pulled and put in full dentures.
How does it go to have all my teeth pulled and then get full dentures? Any
input would be greatly appreciated. Thank You

It's hard to say over the internet without actually seeing you. It
would be useful if you could post some recent xrays to see the
condition of your remaining teeth. Your age may also be a factor in
deciding. You'll have to think about full dentures really well, as
once your teeth are out they're not coming back ever!

remember dentistry is an art and science hence the reason for three
opinions. posting xrays would be good. your dentist might be able to
give you a digital file and that would make it easy. remember is you
are near a dental school and have time but not money, that is an option
