A. Hi

I’m sorry to hear of your problems. Obviously I would need to see you to gve a full assessment of the condition of the individual teeth, however it sounds like you might need most of your decayed teeth removed. An  NHS dentist should be able to provide you with dentures once the teeth are taken out, unfortunately fixed teeth held with dental implants are only available on a private basis so you may need to seek expert advice from a dentist local to you.

Thanks I hope this helps
