I have lost the majority of my teeth but am scared of the dentist, can you help?

Q.
I have lost almost all of my teeth over many years, some extracted many years ago. However the rest have come out due to my gums receeding over the last 10 years or so. I only have 3 left and only 1 of them is a complete tooth. I have a very severe phobia which prevents me from visiting a dentist and feel I simply cannot go. I am not scared of needles or pain but suffer from panic attacks which prevent me from sitting in the chair or waiting in the waiting room. If I could find one that could treat me as an NHS patient by visiting me at home would my gums be ok for dentures?, or will they have shrunk too much?. I have not seen a dentist in over 25 yrs. thank you for any help you can give me

You might be able to find an NHS dentist in your area that could provide home visits, perhaps try NHS direct or call around a few practices to see what they can offer
