If your teeth are that bad, why would your dentist need convincing?

Even when fighting a losing battle, it is often wise to organize a
retreat rather than have a total panic.

It would be interesting to know what disease (other than perio) is
involved.  A history of the progression of tooth loss and the present
condition of the remaining teeth needs to be determined.

What other factors are involved?  (smoking, diet, etc.)

With this information, it is likely that some predictions and plans
can be made.

Most patients survive pretty well with an upper denture.  Most patients
have much more difficulty with lowers.

Be careful what you ask for, you just might get it.
