Is dentures a best option for my sensitive teeth

Q. I have gum disease and tomorrow I am having yet another tooth taken out from the top this will only leave 7 teeth, no back teeth. It is difficult to eat meat now and I cannot bear my teeth to be cleaned as they are so sensitive. I feel my only option now is to have the 7 teeth removed and wear a top denture. I do have a phobia about the Dentist and at 50 now it will never improve. My Dentist has now realised that I cannot put up with the pain of them being cleaned and would need each tooth to be numbed. Do you think my best option is to go for a top denture?

A. A top denture supported by dental implants

    I am doing some research. I am almost 50 and have spent much large amounts of money trying to kee my teeth. I have always had some pain, however, recently I have been experiencing pain and sensitivity and have decided that dentures might make my life easier. I would like to have full flexible dentures is that possible. I currently have one upper partical and one lower partical.
