Hello, thank you for your question. It is very difficult to answer this question without seeing you for a consultation. However, from your description and as you would like a permanent solution,implants maybe the best answer(this is dependent on the amount of bone loss you may have, if you lost your teeth a while ago) and various other factors. You will need to get a quote from a specialist to advise you of costs as implant costs vary from dentist to dentist. Another option available to you possibly is a bridge but that would be dependent on the viability of the teeth that would support it or a better fitting denture and a crown replacement.
