I’ve been told to let my teeth fall out then I can receive dentures, what would you suggest I do?

Q.
Hi, I wondered if you give me some advice regarding my dental matter? My gums have receded badly and where my 4 front teeth are positioned my teeth are all loose. I am considering dental implants but would this be possible as my gums have receded, what is the likely cost?
My dentist suggested that I leave the teeth until they fall out and then wait up to 6 weeks for dentures. I do not want to wait 6 weeks. They are now uncomfortable and I am having a lot trouble when eating. What else would you suggest? Thank you.
A.
I would suggest you attend as soon as possible for a thorough examination and assessment of your needs with a dental implant expert – it also sounds like you may have periodontal disease (gum disease)- this would have to eradicated fully and your mouth fully dentally fit before you should have any complex dentistry such as implants.

I would advise you seek some advice urgently
